On Thursday (5/14/2009), O'Neill said her comments weren't directed at any parents in particular, "but if it hit a nerve, then maybe some of them felt identified. If the shoe fits, wear it."

  1. First, 'kick in the butt' from the superintendent; then 'cream of the crap' from the deputy superintendent, quoting again the super; now 'pain in the ass' from a former Board of Education president, now Board of Ed member. Can it be any clearer (or coarser) what MCPS and the BOE think of the taxpayers, parents, and Citizens of this county? We are the laughingstock of the country as other counties and states watch elected officials and employees on the public payroll ridicule and ignore the Citizens in Montgomery County.
