[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who else feels this way?  At back to school night, Parents were lectured on inclusiveness in a prerecorded message by the Superintendent.  But not a word about curriculum advances, or new technology or what MCPS is doing to better the learning environment for children.   Not a word about excellence, acheivement, goals or EDUCATION.   All Montco cares about is closing the acheivement gap which is impossible with an exploding immigrant class to the area.  We moved here for the schools before curriculum 2.0.  No way MCPS keeps its repuation as the best. It is all down hill when the goal for a school system is no longer about actual education and learning for all children but is instead about social justice.[/quote]

It's very hard for me to consider your concerns seriously when you think "education and learning for all children" and "social justice" are opposites. We live in a society (and a county) of massive and increasing wealth inequality. That simply has to be addressed. I don't even know what you mean that the county is or was or will be "the best." I agree that the average student is less wealthy than they once were. The same is true across the country. A school system is successful when it is excellent at teaching the students it actually has, not when it just happens to teach a large number of wealthy and overparented students.[/quote]
