Um,I don't know. My sister moved to Urbana from the RM district and her middle school kids are claiming that they've already learned the stuff they're learning now at Urbana MS. At the end of the day, I don't care what they do at central office. I care about the curriculum. I have friends that moved from Howard County to Urbana and have the same complaint |
No one would move to Urbana *for the school.* You move there because your job is there or you cannot afford anything in MoCo or HoCo. There's nothing wrong with the schools, but it's not better than MoCo or HoCo, in general. That's crazy talk. |
Can you be more specific about what has happened? Assume you are talking about Bethesda schools |
Greenbelt or College Park? |
It is all of mcps, and has been discussed to death. But here are a few of the reasons: -started (IMO) with curriculum 2.0, who has was a disaster from the start, and t hey stuck with it too long -no more final exams -50% grade just for putting your name on the page -failed a class? Write a recovery paragraph and you pass and move along - no more consequences, for anything (can't fail, can't get expelled, can't get suspended) -facilities (about 25% falling apart, about 25% severely overcrowded) There's so much more, and we moved here for the schools. So glad our kids are just about out. Cannotnwait to leave |
Standard working hours? You mean RUSH HOUR??? Of course not. You could live in DC and not making it from one quadrant to another in anything less than an hour. |
