[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've tried very hard to not Sh@t on MCPS for the past 15 years in which I have had kids attend MCPS schools. But I am going to start. I can handle the many issues that a big a diverse school system and individual schools have. Do I love fighting and drug dealing in schools? No, but my HSer avoids it and has still had a good experience socially. What is now getting me down is the academics. I don't think my kids will leave being well-educated. They have been taught the basics but not much beyond that. My 11th grader has read ONE book in English class this year and it makes my head explode. To date, for school, she's read one Shakespeare play. No To Kill A Mockingbird, no Anne Frank, and none of the classics. I realize that times have changed but still I am very very disappointed. [/quote] Meanwhile my sophomore has done a Shakespeare play, Catcher in the Rye, and who knows what for short focus snippets. Two things can be true at once. I really don’t think that you or others have accepted that things change include millions of others books being published in the last 50+ years. My kids are certainly getting a more complete, diverse, and honest understanding of history than I received in HS in a Private. Kids can read books at home or on their own. Reading Beowulf in HS wasn’t life changing.[/quote]
