[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lot of BS stuff about social emotional learning and nothing about how they are going to close the achievement gap and the learning loss.[/quote]

So much easier to talk about the BS stuff and appease the public.  Much harder to actually educate our kids well.  That’s why MCPS focuses on the BS.  All about the optics.  [/quote]

+1000 this.  And, if they start to hold kids accountable in terms of grades, classwork and homework, parents will have a fit like they did before and MCPS wants to appease those parents.  I'm shocked at our PTA meetings when we have discussions with the principal and the homework topic for older kids comes up and parents don't feel their kids should get homework (they get very little).[/quote]

Wait, so your peer/neighboring parents have a problem with homework, yet you want to place all the blame on MCPS??? I thought folks wanted local control and their districts and BOE to listen and respond to parents?[/quote]

Its not local control if schools don't make decisions on grading and homework.  I think its pathetic to demand no homework for high school students.[/quote]
