[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Often comes down to culture. There’s an interesting new book out on towns that succeed in educating all kinds of kids. Districts that Succeed is the name of the book. We went from a district like this (MCPS) to one that cares and let me tell you it came down to employee culture - ie caring. It starts with this. DMV districts are all challenged by too much money and not enough caring. MCPS has 3 billion to spend a YEAR - yet cares little for the children under its welfare. Sexual abuse is rampant. Curriculum has been crap: for years they stuck with failing Curriculum 2.0, poor leadership (Jack Smith?). A district can maybe coast with one of these issues but not all of them. Lived in Alexandria for 2 years - guessing it’s similar.[/quote] Does MCPS refer to Montgomery County? If so, I thought they were "Up there" with the best. I would be interested to know where you moved to that you feel is so much better (might put it on our list!)[/quote]
