WRONG
Go back to your bible thumping hole.

By the way there is a reason it is called PUBLIC SCHOOL!

My children went to MIT, CMU, Stanford, Yale all from MCPS in recent years so screw off with your utter crap.

Ok rage issues. If you have already had that many kids in college, I’d bet the house it wasn’t very recent that they were at MCPS. A lot has changed very very quickly for the worse in two years. Again, everyone is different. I don’t care if my kid goes to an Ivy League school. State U is great with me. I am not impressed by where your kids went to college. At all. Especially after reading your rant. I just want my kids educated in a safe environment where there is discipline and appropriate rigor or support for their level whatever that may be. I imagine that is what most parents want. We tried hard and couldn’t find that at MCPS anymore. Good luck to OP figuring it all out.

DP but seriously, how can you know what has changed in MCPS in the last 2 years when you don't even have kids in MCPS?
You're not even good at trolling.
GTFO.

Try again. My kids were both at MCPS post pandemic two years ago. I bet yours weren’t. First hand experience of all these things is why we left. I check this forum regularly because I’d tried to convince one of my kids to maybe give MCPS another try because that is still where his close friends are. He might be happier socially at MCPS but he has refused to go back saying it is unsafe chaotic and he won’t learn in that environment. The unhinged posters wearing blinders defending MCPS on this forum tells me sadly nothing is going to change. It makes me feel more secure about his decision. Thanks for making his point for him.

So your kids have been out of MCPS for at least 2 years, and you know it has changed for the worse in the last 2 years. How? How is your opinion relevant here?
BTW, I had one graduated 2 years ago and one is graduating this year from MCPS.

She keeps up on that bastion of journalistic integrity, DCUM!

This right here is why people need to be careful about DCUM and their identity. PP, You’re right MCPS is perfect in every way! No ones opinion but yours matters. Nothing is worth this toxicity with some unknown bully. You win!

Yes, MCPS may not be perfect but is definitely not accurately depicted here. Many triggered right-wing posters out to paint hti false narrative is misleading.
