17 January 2008 - 5:01pm — Tommy LeBIOGRAPHY:
I have a formal education in engineering and have taught school [Vocational-Technical and Community college], I have served as volunteer as MSI coach, advisory committees for MCPS and Montgomery College, County Libraries system, Citizens Advisory Board and Board of ELETRICAL Examiners, etc. I have 30 years of engineering experience.PRIORITIES:
(1) Hold MCPS to be more fiscally accountable in this time of economic uncertainty and yet will maintain our public schools academically excellence in reading, writing, math, science, art, and information technology. (2) Improve vocational training and emphasize civic education and responsibility in early childhood education.OVERCROWDING :
I support the slow growth in our county, this would help alleviate overcrowding in our schools in the long run. Meanwhile, we need to have additional teacher-aids in these over crowded classrooms to assist students with their understanding of studying material.TRADE-OFFS:
I think that our teachers can do both and the MCPS should have in place procedures for all teachers to adhere to this – e.g. to teach the curriculum and bring out the highlight of what could be on the tests. Students need to practice what they’ve learned.OPTIONS:
No. This is the main reason I want to get involved in MCPS. Perhaps NCLB is too restrictive
on its goal in that it focuses on the academic achievement and not enough emphasis on vocational/ careers courses for other non college bound students.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN:
It’s an excellent idea, the earlier we start them in learning the better prepared they will become. Parents must compensate MCPS for this effort, just as if they are providing child care at private caring sources. Children from economic deprived sector should be exempted from payment.
