Montgomery County Schools

I noted locking away loaded magazine in a gun safe. Silly but

From my daughters elementary school;

As a reminder there is a PTA meeting on Tuesday, April 5 at 7 p.m. After a brief business meeting, Mrs. Kanter will discuss the topic of supporting Transgender Youth

Now I have decide on a gun or gender identification lecture

From my daughters elementary school;

...Mrs. Kanter will discuss the topic of supporting Transgender Youth

Would that be how to use the urinal for the 'new boys' in the school?

This isn't a colossal waste of $$$ is it. Going to extend school year 1/2 day, ending on a Monday. I know lot of kids won't be going, including mine. Already committed to camp. Looks like this is the State's doing, not the county.

Montgomery County Public Schools will extend the 2015–2016 school year by one day and end the year on Monday, June 20, 2016. The MCPS request for a one-day waiver of the 180-day school year requirement was approved Monday by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE).
The school year was previously scheduled to end Friday, June 17, and now will end with an early release day on June 20.
MCPS was closed for six days this winter due to inclement weather that left many roads and sidewalks in the county impassable. MCPS already had four emergency weather days built into the school calendar. With the state waiving one day from the requirement, MCPS has implemented its weather contingency calendar, which adds one make-up day to the end of the school year.
MCPS initially requested that MSDE waive two days so that the school year could end June 17, 2016. MSDE rejected that request.

Better hope your kids don't go to Watkins Mill...my daughter has received racist comments from teachers and her classmates and seems the kids rule the school..skipping class is pretty much allowed since they don't enforce the 5 absent rule...and I can go on and on..
After experiencing moco school system for 3 years, I'm already disliked by a neighbor that's a 3rd grade school teacher and a family member (whos a moco HS teacher near Fredrick)

I went to Montgomery County schools in the 60's & 70's. If I recall at the time, Springbrook HS was one of the best rated schools in the state. We couldn't get away with ANYTHING that students do now. We also knew which bathrooms we were to use.

Earle B Wood was a good school. Teachers took no Sh*t, and little to none was tried, including cutting classes. Today it's where you go to eat breakfast and lunch gratis. I just hope the schools in my part of the county can hold out a few more years. Gaithersburg and Germantown have went to hell. Was not bad in the 80's. Peary was an OK school if you were self motivated. If you wanted to slack, not a problem After going to Wood, it was like devolving two grades going to Peary.

Appears Maryland's test scores have dropped;



Funny, I received two letters yesterday addressed "Parents of <student name here>" from Montgomery County Schools. It is basically an "excuse letter" to be prepared that scores will be lower, and they blame it on using a different test.

They will blame Trump and the Republicans next in 3...2...

*picture of some kids presumbly Schipperke being one of them at Peary*

My kids go to school there now. Well, in the building, at least. It's a pretty nice place now, now that they've basically gutted and rebuilt it.

It is nice they did a good job. They got the deal of the century on it too. I like how they were good enough to cover some Peary murals etc, in tact instead of destroying them. It is funny how some's High School experience sticks with them. Mine is pretty much a blur. I recall at a one Reunion Berman let Peary alumni visit. Many the women could go right to their lockers and every class they had. I couldn't even remember the layout. I walked in the foyer area and left. I can recall my elementary school teachers names better than later school years.

Of course like most, I remember some pretty damn funny "events". I'll bore you with one. My best friend of 30+ years, who now has casted me Damnatio memoriae as he has went full batshit left and another pissed Hillary voter.. (anyway, back to better times..) one day chucked a set of the teachers (Ms Rosen) very expensive deck of cards in leather case out the window (2nd fl) in to the court yard. These were not easy cards to replace, something special. Next day get to class and Rosen is furious. "WHO threw my cards in to the court yard! Well, no one of course confessed. She kept up and finally opens her drawer pulls out a pile of shreds, the mower obliterated the cards. At that point my friend and I could not keep a straight face, but she knew it wasn't me (I think) and just cast the most memorable evil eye at my friend.. I honestly felt bad it happened, and told my friend he was bad...

Yup. Wifey lived in Manor and went to Wood. Then she had a choice of Magruder or Rockville- even Peary. She stayed through 9th grade at Wood and then went to Rockville where we met. I was from the other side of the tracks in Twinbrook. LOL Lived on RM side of Viers Mill on Ardennes. Went to St. Jude and then Good Counsel for a year then RHS. A lot better back then. Teachers were more strict and overall, students tended to be more respectful. Too many ahole illegals and punk ass kids now. When the parents come to school because their kids were bad, now the parents go and bitch out the teachers, not their own kids. Back in the 70's when I was at Rolling Terrace and Oak view, if a kid acted up- whether black, white, whatever, all of us would go "ooooooo someone is going to get their butt wipped" the parents would come in and give their kid shit for embarrassing the family, and get a whuppin. I had to get my switch for my Mee-Maw on occasion. I seem to be ok today...

My boy just graduated 5th G at Barnsley. Wood was the best school I went to. Must have been the Manor and Flower Valley influence. I was the only student from Brookhaven from my grade to go to Wood, our home was on the side of Arctic that went there. I see some videos today of how kids talk to teachers, and it just goes unchecked, it blows my mind. Almost none of that happened, and if attempted instantly shut down. In Peary, I saw two occasions where teachers took matters out in to the hall physically. One time a math teacher, the Wrestling Coach picked me up by the collar! (Fireworks in the Hall, not allowed) At Wood, a kid would not stand for anthem and was literally tossed out the class sitting in his one piece desk, flipped over! Knowing there would be a price kept most us boys squared away. Look at Paint Branch HS, half the students are D or Fail in math, and scores like that are migrating North up 270.

Wood and RHS here too.

Speaking of teachers that didnt take shit. Reminds me of my favorite shop teacher (RIP)

I've told my kids countless times how i watched him break up fights, how we would get shot with a CO2 fire extinguisher for sitting in his recliner and had a friend get sent to the health room to tend to a bloody nose due to teacher/student rough housing.

Man those were some fun times

I was in Flower Valley. I remember doing something stupid and a neighbor came out, made me apologize to him, dragged my ass home and had a chat with my parents. My parents made me apologize to him again, closed the door and then I really got in trouble.

funny. lolol. Had some friends from that side of 28. wifey and I graduated in 84. The Thompson twins were in our class from Flower Valley. Their dad owned Bish Thompsons. He gave them matching red camaros for their birthday. A lot of my friends though through St. Jude went to Belt and Peary. We used to go through FV and eff up mailboxes until they started to surround them with rook-like towers


Also, wifey told me recently that one of the shop teachers from RHS killed himself and his former RHS teacher wife earlier this year?

Also, had Mr. Keegan for English. He actually retired from Blake or Bu-LAK-aay HS and moved north. He is actually conservative. lol..
