[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I cannot wait for the school system to change (provide pathways for appropriate challenge for all MCPS students) despite my protests I am resigned to use the Elementary School as a day care center where my children socialize with their friends under adult supervision.  After a number of years in the MCPS system I'd be a fool if I trusted the school and their assessment metric for educating my children.

Unprovoked, all my children will affirm they have learned little in school (and only encountered one inspirational teacher in cumulative 10 years in the system -- 3 kids) and credit what they have learned outside the classroom (Kahn, AoPS, MOOC, parent instruction) as the reason for their acclaimed success and inside and outside of school.

As a reflect I can honestly, however regretfully, admit the MCPS school system (in the early and primary elementary and middle school years) has served as a day care center for all my children.  Their education and intellectual stimulation was provided outside the system because MCPS failed to provide this for our own particular children.

Two out of 3 of the kids did wait to avail themselves of HGC and middle magnet opportunities but these programs were uneven -- largely weak in the humanities, languages, writing, and art.[/quote]

Given your attitude towards MCPS, I am grateful that your children were not in my children's classes.[/quote]
