OP is right. If this is you, go to private. What you actually want is for your kid to be separated from the riff raff. Well then do it. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.


Yeah those families should really leave the peers who have adults/parents like you in their lives. Pity your kids.

I do not follow MCPS/BOE ups and downs closely and yes, it all comes off as incredibly whiny and entitled. So for those who think Taylor or the BOE are problematic, please know that you do a horrible job of demonstrating how or why that is and instead just seem to talk about how you want public school personalized to your preferences.

And honestly, many of you have inflated egos which cause you to believe you are entitled to everything you are asking for.

If you want to get whatever you ask for, be heard and have a direct say in your child’s school and policies, go to private school. Yes, it can be expensive but it’s worth it. Also, a lot of your expectations are just delusional. Some of the things you are asking for (and won’t be receiving) are not even available in private schools.

Beer money and champagne taste. No wonder you can’t keep a superintendent!


The Mad Mommies of MoCo are always Big Mad. It’s truly maddening.


MCPS Comms working overtime


Brilliant to get parents hating each other when the superintendent is a disaster.


Taylor is good at pitting people against each other. He creates conflict.


Absolutely. Like any good Machiavellian leader.

Yes!! 💯% I see more snobbiness in this forum than even the private school forum, which is crazy. Literally the second MCPS makes an announcement, there is a 10 page thread on here opposing whatever it is.
This forum is not MCPS parents. This forum across the board is a self selected group of people who care alot and like to have their opinions heard. Most people are not like us.


It is good that most people are not like you.

The reason people complain so much is that you MCPS (Peter, Essie, Sean, Chris and other senior leadership members who actively participate on this forum) operate as a criminal organization. You want less complaining, a start would be to make a singular honest and transparent decision that is grounded on what is best for children.

You guys have severely damaged this school system, and that is absolutely your legacy.


It makes you wonder where the money goes.

You're just seeing a few aggressive, mentally ill, posters obsessing on DCUM, OP. They do not represent the majority of MCPS parents.

I've been very happy with MCPS and I don't mind that it's imperfect. I have supplemented my children's education how I wanted. They're now in college and high school.

No lies detected, OP. People are exhausting.
