[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in CT with town based education...agree that it benefits the wealthy and leaves the poorer areas much worse off.  The discrepancies are shocking... most needy students with the least reasources.  I don't have a solution for mcps but taking away all measures of success to try to equalize student achievement is not a valid plan...grading, differentiated learning , exams, gifted programs...we are seeing them all phased out....not sure who supports that.[/quote]

But how is that different from what is happening in MCPS?  We are at a Focus school and have friends at wealthier elementary schools.  Huge differences in field trips, PTA involvement, level of expectation, etc.

The County could still continue to offer its myriad of programs, like Saturday School, tutoring, etc.  Could see how that would still work.

Services offered through the county, but town-based school systems.  It would be a huge improvement over the disaster that MCPS is now.  School closings can be made on a town/cluster basis.  Busing would be much simpler.  [/quote]
