Are you a member of either of the groups you are opining about?


+1 if you are, I want to know the difference.

If your school isn't nagging you to fill it out and/or you haven't seen it yet: https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/publicinfo/community/school-year-2024-2025/Community-Message-20250603.html


Your kid’s ID number tells them who to target if they don’t like your answers.



Who, exactly, is doing the targeting here? Like, walk me through your process. Which specific school employees, to whom you entrust your child every day, do you think would retaliate?


I love how you're naive enough to believe that this stays with school employees, forever, and could never be used for nefarious purposes. Bless your heart!


I love how new you are to the internet.

Can always count on the salty fish in the DCUM sea

Yes, betchy betties, I did click on the little blue "continue" button and answered everything available to me until said button said "submit". Maybe my demographic didn't get asked any additional questions? Most things I answered had drop downs and 'if this, then that' style prompting. I answered everything I was asked.

I was only asked about my kids race and gender. But thanks for the salt!

Don't you think it's a good idea to tie it race and gender for the data? Wouldn't you want them to know that all the Asian boys felt unsafe at school? Or a high percentage of the parents of white girls felt the school did not have high academic standards?
