1. People bond when critiquing a common experience. Have you noticed that?

2. There are real limitations to education that you should be aware of. I say this as a foreigner who has experienced different European and Asian school systems. Schools here, public and private, have low standards in elementary school, and the curriculum lacks rigor to an incredible degree, thereby putting the onus on individual teachers to teach it well, or not. As my 4th grader's teacher says - the MCPS 2.0 curriculum is all edu-speak!

3. Comparing standards here to the rest of the country is dangerously misleading, given the low rank of the US compared to other countries in terms of education. Don't forget the marketplace is increasingly global, and our adult children will compete with highly educated and high-achieving young people from all over the world.

So, yes, inform yourself, and parent your children well at home.[/quote]

Good advice. And look at private schools.[/quote]
