Which public school system did you move your kids to?

[Anonymous]

Parent and teachers who were fed up with MCPS, if you picked another public school system, which one did you pick?

Not me personally, but plenty of my coworkers in MCPS love Howard Co. Public Schools and others are satisfied with Frederick and Anne Arundel.

Honestly, if you are middle class and have a bright, but not gifted child or one with SN, it doesn’t matter much. Focus on teaching academic integrity, good work habits, and how to learn from failure or a C.

If you are poor, or have a child with exceptional needs, it will matter more. But largely, most parents angsting over public school vs. private or one DMV system over another are seeing no objective benefit. Like the people without celiac who insist on being gluten-free. Or the folks who overuse antibiotics and antibacterial products.

So it doesn’t matter what school a middle class kid with no learning issues goes to? That has to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever read on here.

Publics are not good anywhere for a regular student. Go private.

Matters, but not as much as people on DCUM believe it does.

Please don't come to Howard County schools. You people move here from a broken system and run from the policies that you essentially voted for and bring those same political beliefs from which you ran from. If you move here, change your politics and mindset. We don't want you ultra liberal people to ruin our good public school system with your policies. The policies that are good for everyone else but your kid. Thank you.

I urge you to stay where you are and fight to take back your county and school system.

Yep. I am from California and this reminds me of all my Californian friends who left the state for AZ, TX, CO, etc. only to turn around and vote for the candidates in their new state whose policies are the exact ones that caused them to flee California in the first place. Just don’t get it.

WTF?! Howard County is almost entirely ultra liberal. We wrote the book on ultra liberal. We're talking crunchy, earthy, hippie liberal. The above reads almost racist in intent and that definitely doesn't define my 45 years of living in Howard County. I find it hard to believe it was written by anyone in Howard County.

And more than twice that number voted for Clinton.

Liberals aren’t the smartest or the best with economics. They like to be PC, but it gets them nowhere
