[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school is doing: Nada. Bupkis. Given the joke that 6th grade "enrichment" for the highly able group was, did we expect any differently? This was pure lip service. They know parents invested in their highly able kids' education will continue to enrich, which of course we will. But screw MCPS. I am sorry I paid a premium to be in a so-called "great" school system. Enormous classes, virtually no homework, little to no challenge. What a disappointment.[/quote]

Yet MCPS will point to your child's successes as further proof that they are "one of the best school systems in the nation".  I've long believed that the high success rates that MCPS likes to boast about are largely due to educated parents compensating at home for school ahortfalls, rather than because of MCPS.

MCPS does offer some amazing opportunities (magnets, immersion, etc.), however these are offered to a tiny percentage of students.  They need to shore up their basic curriculum for everyone (hopefully the new curriculum will do this) and they need to dramatically expand their magnets/immersion programs to serve all the qualified students who need it.[/quote]
