[quote=Anonymous]MCPS has long claimed that it aims to make kids “college and career ready.” That has never been true. MCPS has emphasized college readiness over all else for decades. Edison is a good program, but it has NEVER been fully enrolled. Having to bus over to Edison from a home school discourages students from applying. MCPS needs TWO full-time, comprehensive technical high schools—one up county, one down. Businesses are crying out for graduates who have at least some basic coding skills. All of the trades need more kids who have some training. These are decent paying jobs for kids who either don’t want to go to college or simply can’t afford it at this time. There is a bit of elitism in MCPS priorities. We are letting a lot of kids down.[/quote]
