[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Total corruption.  Teachers get canned for reporting true data on non inflated grades, behavior, crime etc and admin get promoted for covering up, inflating grades, and showing rosey optics.  Good luck finding teachers after you abused and fired the few left in the industry. [/quote]

Agreed.

How do you fix such a huge, corrupt school system?  With zero oversight.  It’s very difficult.  [/quote]

Please show me where MCPS acknowledges their failures.  Seriously.  I have a bridge in Brooklyn I could sell you….

Im the PP who left prior to pandemic but culture is the hardest to change in any large org.  They likely have leaders from current regime who got there by the mantra ‘we are great’ and likely have doctored data to keep showing this as the org death spiraled.

Not completely MCPS’ fault.

Show me a place with robust economic engine - and I’ll show you a solid public school system.  Moco as we know ain’t that place anymore, sadly[/b].  It hates business- yet they are the only group to insist upon excellence since they evaluate your 12th graders who aren’t headed for higher Ed.[/quote]

This.  We don't have a robust economy - in part because of the decline of the schools.  Big business doesn't want to come here.  The condos on top and retail on the bottom doesn't even pay enough for those working in the retail on the bottom to live on the top.  Big business goes where their employees can easily get to work and their children go to good schools.  We have problems in both areas[/quote]

Schools have nothing to do with the economy.  The issue with the economy is the MoCo business structure with heavy taxes and fees and [b]land/building costs are insane.  And, we don't have enough land of some of these companies to go.  [/b]And, people.  Walmart, for example wanted to come to Aspen Hill and we had the crazies who don't even live in that area protesting it year ago. It would have greatly benefitted the community given there is a lot of lower income housing and apartments.[/quote]

Yes, land is expensive when demand exceeds supply. That's how the market works.

You're reaching back almost 10 years for that Wal-mart - keeping in mind that (1) they could have chosen a location that didn't require rezoning, but insisted on a location that did require rezoning (2) at least at the time, Wal-mart wages were so low that Wal-mart workers required public subsidies to keep their families afloat (3) Wal-mart has been closing stores (4) 2013 is the good old days for MCPS, according to the MCPS IS IMPLODING posters on this thread.
