PGCPS has its faults, but they do many things differently from MCPS and those choices are starting noticeably to pay off. Rather than push “honors for all” in the name of equity, they offer rigorous programs for their gifted students. I was curious so I looked up the PGCPS student code of conduct and compared it to MCPS. There seemed to be much higher expectations for student conduct in PGCPS. For example, if an MCPS student is caught with alcohol or drugs, they will receive a “ restorative  practice,” if it is their first offense. In PGCPS, students receive a short term suspension and mandatory counseling from the alternative to drugs and alcohol program. Is there any push in MCPS to adopt some of the policies that are used in PGCPS? [/quote]
