Why isn't it going to happen?

Why did you revive a 5-year-old thread?

Because Neelsville Middle School is never going to be rebuilt.

Not sure if i am just failing to understand some level of sarcasm or an inside joke but I am pretty sure Neelsville got a brand new building like a year ago.

The school that really should me rebuilt is Gaithersburg MS but that will be a difficult situation because i don’t know how they would handle the fact that the attached Aquatic Center is probably city owned and not MCPS owned.

What school in the city ?

Mold everywhere due to serious humidity issues, mice/rats too. It’s pretty typical stuff in city schools. We can’t drink the water so we have bottled water brought in.

This website dedicated to progress on the Neelsville construction process might beg to differ? https://neelsville-middle-school-construction-progress.constantcontactsites.com/progress

Which only proves that the condition of the school has nothing to do with outcomes. The population at Neelsville is such that parents have no involvement in their kids' education, and hence, the environment is horrendous...then pile on the physical conditions, and morale is down the tubes. Glad my kid will never be in a place like that.

That comment says a whole lot about you.

DP here. To be fair, one staff member at Neelesville did say that they struggle immensely with parents being involved. Not sure how moving kids to Rocky Hill will change that issue.

Nobody has said that it would.

That was nice.

Glad my kid isn't there.

Cool story.

If it was a white kid calling a black or Hispanic person a derogatory name it wouldn't be a cool story would it?

NP. I have never heard an actual live black person (not a fictional character) call a white person cracker. Ever. And I’m almost 50. Sadly, I have heard a lot of black children and adults called the N word by real life white people.

Awww wa wa wa. I’ve heard 19,000 blacks call other blacks “nigga and “nigge*) and no one is ever disciplined.

I bet you use the n bomb at home and are (not so secretly) pi$$ed you aren't "allowed" to use it in public.

No one cared when the ghetto kids from Fox Chapel, Daly, etc. Went there. Why care now???? Cburg brats think they are to good for old Neelsville??

Fact check. The Neelesville kids have been begging since 2015!!! Staff there have been asking for help and yet they've been ignored. I have one staff member tell me she is convinced mcps has been ignoring them because they are a majority minority school with a high Farms rate. This is on mCPS, not the Clarksburg folks you want to demonize.

That may be so but the PP had a good point. Nobody cared until the privileged kids were assigned there. It sounds like diversifying these schools is having the intended impact since it will improve outcomes for many more students!

Yup.
