[quote=Anonymous]I have been an MCPS teacher for 25 years and still have two kids in the system (now in high school). I don't feel that the issues people are posting about are overblown at all.  MCPS has been declining steadily over the past ten years or so, broadly due to lowered expectations for students that relate to the curriculum, the grading and attendance policies, and consequences for issues ranging from tardiness to smoking illegal substances in bathrooms.  Teachers have no authority when it comes to these policies and morale is low among most because we are witnessing MCPS fall apart.  I just heard today that there are 19 principal openings in the county currently - that's unheard of for this time of year and should be raising alarm bells for families.  Most parents truly are not aware of how far we've fallen because they don't spend 8+ hours per day inside our schools.  There would be general outrage among taxpayers if they witnessed what's really happening.  If my kids weren't so close to graduating, we'd move to Howard County or put them in private school.
