I'm not the PP, but that's a pretty ridiculous comeback, IMO.

I have a kid in MCPS and I feel that some of the PPs comments are valid.  There is a tremendous amount of time wasted in ES classrooms the way they are set up right now.  Sure, I might not be an educator... so what?  I'm not allowed to voice my opinion about my kid's education?

You're not even addressing any of the PPs complaints.  I completely agree that the mixed classes with 5 or 6 different reading groups is ridiculous.  Nobody benefits from all that wasted class time.  [/quote]

As a parent, you are of course allowed to voice your opinion about education. In fact, even non-parents are allowed to voice their opinions about education. But there is a difference between "voicing your opinion" and "knowing what you're talking about". Having gone to school does not make you an expert in education. There is empirical research about the benefits of within-class ability grouping. MCPS did not just make all of this stuff up out of thin air to annoy parents.[/quote]
