Go I to your recent calls and block and report their number. The chances you hear about an actual emergency from MCPS are nill. You would receive a call from your local school if something happened there

That definitely seems like a you problem. I was asleep by 10, had all my work done, and was not woken up by a phone call because I know how to use do not disturb.

It's on the website on the page next to the one that lists the magnet selection criteria.

This time my home, cell and work phone rang simultaneously as did my husband and son’s. Fortunately all cells were on do not disturb so I don’t have any major complaints except that this isn’t the usual protocol.

No. OP is an idiot.

Why are some of you so nasty? There are so many devices and methods, and sometimes they don’t work as we think. There are better ways to share your thoughts.


I agree. No need to post that for all to see.

If OP would care to share her number, I'd happily text (not call!) her to tell her that she is an idiot.

I'm so confused. You're a teacher....and you're complaining that MCPS called to let you know there was a two-hour delay? Don't you think that's pertinent information for you to know? And wouldn't you have had to wake up shortly after 5:30 to get ready for a normal workday?

The entitlement and selfishness on display in this thread is nauseating. No wonder so much of our community is in the gutter.

Maybe you accidentally favorited MCPS.

That is a selfish thing to do.

I agree. Let's set examples of resilience for our children.

Me too but I actually know how to use the do not disturb feature on my phone. It's really great. You should give it a try.
