[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i don't think people can "have it all"--both nurturing and high test scores. Parents need to choose what they want. If you are choosing MCPS, you're going with the "high test scores" type of environment. As PPs have pointed out, you'll need to go private or another county or homeschool if you want a more nurturing environment.[/quote] I'm not sure I agree. I think that there's so much pressure on lower test score environments to fix their scores, than there is on kids in high pressure environments to keep their scores high. I work in DC in a moderately well performing school and our kids are under way more pressure than my kid in a high performing MCPS school. [/quote]
