[quote=Anonymous]OP its more accurate to say that there is a tremendous amount of anger and frustration not apathy. The current group of elementary school kids are the first 2.0 victims so many have older siblings who received a much better education. MCPS is hoping that once these kids age out the next group which just accept this pile of crap. I don't see that happening as new parents without older kids are complaining about 2.0 just as much.

MCPS does a lot in addition to a bad curriculum to piss off parents. Kids don't get grades in elementary school. Its pass/fail through 5th grade. Every quarter every kid gets an identical report card with all Ps. There is only one brief parent teacher conference.

PTA fundraising can not go to any educational improvements such as increased staffing. If you're in a high performing school, you lose staff and teaching resources o lower performing schools but unlike DC or VA the PTA can't fund raise to replace a K aide.

MCPS is all about leveling. If you're going into a high performing school you are there to pay taxes, keep your mouth shut and let the school enjoy your child's high test scores. Don't expect any real education or for them to give a shit about your child. [/quote]
