[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I listen to Taylor I get a very, very different impression than you. He seems like a snake oil salesman.[/quote]

[b]Marketing his vision is part of his job. It appears that he has thought through all the sharp, pointed questions on here and gave excellent answers. The primary issues left include:
(1) How is he ensuring that the principals and teachers are engaging elementary and middle parents and students to prepare for selecting the STEM programs they will be interested in by 2027? 
(2) Given that more college graduates are doing jobs that don’t require degrees while employers are still scrambling for graduates, how will MCPS plan to match programs with corporate demand?[/b]

[b]It would be nice to add additional pointed questions he hasn’t answered yet.[/quote][/b]

This has to be Taylor posting himself. No adult should be this naive.

All one needs to realize how unprepared we are for what is coming is Taylor's answer to question who will teach new magnet classes. His response was (I am paraphrasing) that we are all set as current teachers have bunch of certificates and are ready to jump in. In reality, most current HS math teachers would have difficulties getting A in the Blair magnet let alone teaching it. Yeah, he really thought this through.[/quote]

+1 the bolded sounds like MCPS speak for "we have dug a hole so deep we can't get out without admitting we are completely full of it and Thomas Taylor is a narcissist so that ain't happening, sorry kids who will be sent to terrible programs (don't worry the rich ones will hire tutors everyone else is sol)"[/quote]
