[quote=Anonymous]I moved to from DC to MD for the so-called great MCPS, but it was a mistake. I will say that close-in Maryland has lots of other amenities, but I'm sure Virginia does, too. In retrospect, I would have stayed in DC -- charters seem to be currently more promising than MCPS -- or considered Virginia more seriously. I don't know how much to attribute to Supt. Starr, but I am less than impressed with his leadership. He is probably trying to land himself a federal appointment soon, which would be fine, because he is not able to connect with parents and kids in meaningful way. He's more invested in his "Josh" image and personal career path than really making any headway with the kids who really need a good, quality public education and may not have the financial means to supplement in other ways or opt out of working to volunteer. The unpaid volunteers seems to make the real difference, and a lot of parents in this regions have full-time jobs. I am not connected to the teacher community. Maybe the teachers and principals love him. I just don't know.[/quote]
