[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another move(er) to Frederick from Moco. [b]Much more solid culture of kindness.[/b] We originally moved to DMV and to MoCo for schools. (!) Kid didn’t have what MoCo is looking for - cram school first gen - thus deeply mistreated by staff with some very few exceptions. Damage was made though. We moved to Frederick. I can say with all my heart (that while nothing is perfect in public school) child is almost finished and has been treated with respect - and her disability acknowledged and dealt with in reasonable ways. (Not in Urbana district though). That’s where most of the refugees go from Moco! No thanks. Good luck. If you do your research there are some gem clusters here.[/quote] This is one thing that gets lost in all of it A lot of people flee MCPS for a variety of reasons: competitive atmosphere, politics in the classroom, lack of SN support and services, etc. But at the end of the day, the biggest difference for us has been what you said: a culture of kindness. People are nicer here, and the educational experience has just been a more pleasant one. Is it possible that my children would have received a slightly superior education in MoCo? Maybe, maybe not. It's impossible to say, especially since we're in the Urbana pyramid. But I can say without hesitation that the experience has been a much better one. [/quote]
