You mean it is false to say they are all getting a world class #1 best ever education. Got it.

No, that's not what I said or meant. The options are not "all world class" or "all equally crappy". JFC some of you are really dumb as rocks.

The data shows MCPS is equally crappy. Rankings don't lie.

That's not what the data shows.

MCPS has changed since the golden age when Weast was super but that is largely due to external factors and one can still get a first-rate public education if they care about that sort of thing.

I agree with the pp teacher. I also taught under Weast and Montgomery County wasn't nearly as diverse as it is today. His scare tactics towards building principals would do nothing to increase the test scores for our BIPOC students.

Actually, it very much does.

I was looking up my kid’s high school and it is appalling the number of kids who are not ‘proficient’.

MCPS is failing all our students, unfortunately. Any kid who does do well is likely getting some sort of outside help.

Weird at our high school a third of the kids have a 4.0 I don't know what you're talking about. Is this one of those posts from the alternate reality or just using alternate facts?

I teach for MCPS - the new grading and reporting system makes grades meaningless. Everyone gets at least a 50%, endless do-overs, etc.

He'd do great today. He faked the data then and he'd fake it now. McKnight has Weast's prime PR person working for her. She's on track to repeat the Weast years. MCPS will glow on paper and fail the students. No one cares.

Look at all the things McKnight has promised already and never done. The list is growing.

It's too bad there is 0 evidence of these fringe claims. Every piece of mainstream news says he was a great leader and did a wonderful job. Do I have to watch InfoWars or Tucker to hear these alternative facts?

SAT scores are also at an all time I high . I think most kids score something like 1400+ today.

Really? Wow!

THe average entrant into UMDCP is something like 1440. Kids today are going great. It's just not everyone is focused on academics. I'm personally fine with that.

I think a lot of us are disputing this. The assignments themselves have changed, the delivery techniques have changed, the grading scales have changed, the expectations for homework have changed, etc. So there can be racial disparities, but the entire level of achievement can also shift downward. This is also true nationally, with the rigor of AP exams, SAT scoring, etc.
