Abstract

Taking stock of a tumultuous few weeks that includes a student walkout, a teachers’ vote of no-confidence, a call from principals for a pause to plan, local education reporter Caitlynn Peetz talks with Sunil Dasgupta about Montgomery County Public Schools not having metrics for when schools stay in person or go virtual, lacking clarity about who is making decisions; and displaying an overall unwillingness to see mistakes resulting in doubling down on policies that are not working. Local news and music from The Airport 77s, a power pop band from Silver Spring.
