[quote=Anonymous]The classes are so large and MCPS only has 1 teacher per class in schools that aren't Title 1. Its not like DC where even though there is only one teacher allotted for 25 kids, parents can raise money to fund a full time teacher/aide to be in the classroom.

The teacher's are capable of doing more but everything has to to be brought down what can be done in a large group or what can kids just do independently at their desks. You'll see an occasional interesting activity but its basically assembly line uninspiring worksheet crap for the next several years.

If you look at private the world is very different. Look for schools that have small class sizes and subject specific teachers. In public school, one teacher teaches everything except art, music and PE. In many (not all) privates, you'll see a math teacher, a science teacher etc. If they are specializing they can spend more time coming up with exciting and interesting things to do. In addition, they aren't forced to march to the the county level prescribed worksheet stuff. [/quote]
