I have one kid in public (elementary school) and one in private (high school). You will never, ever, ever get all of the things you want and demand from MCPS, no matter how much you huff and puff and stomp your feet. Public schools are designed to serve the masses and not your individual circumstances. And honestly, many of you have inflated egos which cause you to believe you are entitled to everything you are asking for.
If you want to get whatever you ask for, be heard and have a direct say in your child’s school and policies, go to private school. Yes, it can be expensive but it’s worth it. Also, a lot of your expectations are just delusional. Some of the things you are asking for (and won’t be receiving) are not even available in private schools. Beer money and champagne taste. No wonder you can’t keep a superintendent! |
| Stop complaining about others OP |
Your kid goes to public school - get your money up OP. |
| What are you gaining from this? |
| Troll |
| Yawn…. |
Are you saying you know what the160k +/- families want and are asking for?! Share what all those things are, since you seem to be an expert |
And claiming to know what families want |
The Mad Mommies of MoCo are always Big Mad. It’s truly maddening. |
Nah its the J mommies always complaining |
MCPS Comms working overtime |
Seriously. It is so annoying and entitled. |

We are a public school family who can't afford private, and I agree with OP.
The people who complain the loudest are often just advocating for special treatment for their kids, who are usually just average kids. Their parents are convinced they are Very Special Geniuses and the only thing holding them back are public school policies. So we all have to sit around listening to their tantrums. OP is right. If this is you, go to private. What you actually want is for your kid to be separated from the riff raff. Well then do it. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. |
Yes!! 💯% I see more snobbiness in this forum than even the private school forum, which is crazy. Literally the second MCPS makes an announcement, there is a 10 page thread on here opposing whatever it is. |
This forum is not MCPS parents. This forum across the board is a self selected group of people who care alot and like to have their opinions heard. Most people are not like us. |
