Under Starr's leadership we have seen the following:

1. an end to math acceleration
2. failing scores for high school students
3. significant drop (much more than other counties, 12% is much more than 4%) in MSA test scores
4. Failed implementation of the curriculum, it took the teachers union going after them to even admit their was a problem
5. Arrogance in admitting the failure of the curriculum AND the implementation
6. Antagonistic relationship with parent community
7. Bad fiscal decisions involving pay increases leading to increases in class size and budget deficits
8. Antagonistic relationship with Maryland Council members and the state which may lead to bigger budget problems

Actually --

1. Not true.
2. Also under Weast.
3. True, but nobody knows what this means.
4. "Failed" according to whom? DCUM?
5. See 4.
6. Also under Weast (and maybe earlier, I don't know).
7. Class sizes in FY 2012 were bigger than in FY 2011? Data please.
8. Actually worse under Weast.

You can dislike MCPS all you want, but this hatred of Starr is just not rational.
