[quote=Anonymous][quote]As usual, Starr announced some vague transformation of 9 schools (out of 100+) and maybe someday we'll find out what he and his pricey consultants decided upon.[/quote] I'm not connected to the Parent's Coalition and I agree with this statement. I'm so tired of MCPS and Starr slapping what they think is a catchy slogan or label on new projects and thinking this is enough. I agree with the other poster who predicted that Starr will co-locate a magnet to raise up the test scores and hide that the other group isn't performing. This practice really pisses me off as the underperforming students need actual help. Education is their only shot and the window of opportunity isn't open forever. Instead of having a school system that is really trying to help them, they end up with a school system that goes to great lengths to create the perception that they are helping them. Someone needs to hold Starr accountable for actual student outcomes not creating perceptions that he think will serve political interests. [/quote]
