[quote=Anonymous]I don't think this thread is redundant to the other one because I don’t view it as a “fall” from previous good times. 
-I think MCPS responds to squeaky wheel small group concerns to the detriment of providing fair, high-quality programming for all students. 
-I don’t think the English instruction has been very good in the middle school and early high school years, and I’m looking forward to the AP English years. I would like to see MCPS implement a solid writing curriculum earlier and have more of a focus on reading the classics, supplemented with modern lit in the middle grades and high school, rather than the other way around. 
-My kids’ math teachers have been a mixed bag, and some have been not great! I wish MCPS had math textbooks from algebra on so parents could track what is happening at school instead of it being worksheets? packets? that maybe come home and are sometimes posted on canvas. 
-I hate the way MCPS uses magnet programs in the elementary and middle grades. I think there is no good reason to have magnet programs at these ages when they could just offer the curriculum at the schools. I hate the way they split up the kids and I think it’s awful for building a school community. And on top of that, if they’re going to have a magnet, I think it’s ridiculous that they decided to make it a lottery. If they set the criteria for a program, they should be prepared to provide access to those who qualify. At the elementary level, they keep changing what they provide to the non-lottery winners, which I’m pretty sure this year is nothing, so it feels extra unfair. 
-I think about moving but it’s expensive, a hassle, and my kids are not unhappy (they also know nothing other than MCPS so have no point of comparison). [/quote]
