Does it hurt the children of BCPS? If it doesn&#039;t, leave it alone! This actions seems to be started out of jealously. It has nothing to do with the kids.]]></description>

Exactly! And class sizes are another reason why he&#039;s having trouble staying on task. It all seems so shady. Of course Dance is getting some kickback. There should be more oversight before you plunge an entire County into something so expensive and so unproven. My brother in PA has older kids with iPads and all the kids are constantly on them and playing games, etc. when they&#039;re not supposed to be in class. Of course the teacher says not to but there&#039;s no way to control it. We work so hard to control our kids access to electronics at home and they&#039;re force fed it at school. I know MANY Moms who feel the same way we do. Enough with the electronics! Kids need REAL experiences, not more artificial ones. They&#039;ll learn how to use computers for goodness sake eventually. Now we have $280 million dollar electronic babysitters. What a waste!]]></description>

Right there with you.  We have a 1st grader who spends all day on the computer when the teacher proctors PARCC testing for the older kids and there is a substitute present physically.  It is such a waste of resources- money, time and class sizes are growing to pay for these.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Regarding the Orate.me site, which listed the $5,000 speaker&#039;s fee: The profile for Dallas Dance was not actually taken down after a recent controversy arose, but was put under &quot;permission only&quot; status. An ethics review board should look further into this case from the standpoint of the company itself.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Get rid of the computers. They&#039;re a nightmare. Elementary schoolers are using them during library, at indoor recess, with substitutes. My ADHD son needs a TEXTBOOK, not a computer! What a ridiculous mess. I am not the only parent who feels this way either.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think it is important to keep in mind that  these outside engagements do not benefit the children in BCPS, even if they don&#039;t violate the contract.    The contract should be changed -  if all this stuff is acceptable according to the terms, then the contract should be more restrictive going forward.]]></description>
