[quote=Anonymous]What happened to MCPS in the last 15 years? I am genuinely curious about all the negativity and pessimism on this board.

Some background I graduated from MCPS almost 20 years ago. I'm from a very middle class immigrant family. Started off in MCPS not knowing any English back in elementary school and through the help of many great teachers along the way I ended up graduating from the RM IB program and attended a top 10 University without much parental guidance or any extra tutoring and etc.

I always raved about the education I recieved from MCPS and felt like I was very prepared at a rigorous college with many kids from prep schools. I truly felt lucky about the education I received especially after hearing about other public schools from people I met in college (no AP offering, no music programs, ...) Now my baby sister is in elementary school and I happened upon this forum. Baby sister is in 4th grade at a Wootton feeder school and so far reported back that she likes school. Her teacher seems very dedicated though a bit overworked and she's been enjoying the free instrumental music lessons offered and looks forward to joining the 5th grade chorus next year.

So what's changed since or has the forum always been this dramatic?[/quote]
