No way you even live in MoCo. Anyone with kids in MCPS knows that the kids misbehavior has gotten infinitely worse over the past 15 years. MCPS allows kids to behave terribly.

This is the 12th year I have had kids in MCPS, and I don't know that.

As Socrates had stated a couple of thousand years back, these children have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Yeah, that's pretty accurate! Especially when it comes to gobbling p dainties.

Their point is this is the same old complaint that parents have had now for more than a thousand years. It's tired.

Not a quote by Socrates: "It was crafted by a student, Kenneth John Freeman, for his Cambridge dissertation published in 1907. Freeman did not claim that the passage under analysis was a direct quotation of anyone; instead, he was presenting his own summary of the complaints directed against young people in ancient times. " but it does sum up someone's research.

The point being made is that behavior is worse if there are no consequences for poor behavior; this would have been true 15 years ago if the schools had used the same discipline as they do now.

DS started kindergarten in 2005 so we’ve been in MCPS for almost 15 years. I see literally no difference in discipline, but we’re in a W cluster and the kids are pretty good.

On the contrary, the point being made is that elders always perceive increasingly worse behavior in the younger generation which is fairly ridiculous given this has been going on for more than a millenium.

This forum is full of alarmists. MCPS schools are fantastic, at least Whitman is. My kids have been incredibly well prepared for college. They also have worked hard in school.

We have young kids who will be going into the Churchill cluster in the near future. Our neighbors with kids there have nothing but positive things to say.

These last comments sum it all up

If you can afford to live in one of the richer parts of the county of course the schools are fine. (P.S. liberals think you are racist by the way)

The issue is the middle class areas are going down hill and there are more and more ghetto areas now

Watchout! Your child maybe re-assigned to other schools based on the results of the current boundary analysis.

Yep, this.

And the rest of us are screwed.

Definitely our middle class neighborhood has seen a decline in the community and in our school cluster.

The issue is that there are people in Montgomery County who wish it were still 1975, but it isn't.

Sorry, living in a W cluster doesn’t make you racist. I’m sorry that people think that.
