[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sure seems like many affluent in Bethesda/ Potomac, Chevy Chase are exiting MCPS in droves.  Has anyone else observed this happening?

[b]There's no evidence to support this. People seem to be happy with the exception of a few far-right posters that like to stir up trouble.[/b][/quote]

[b]Ya the same poster keeps starting these doom and gloom threads. I think they have a political agenda, but the reality is my kids are getting a much better education than I got 25 years ago at Wooto[/b]n.[/quote]

Same poster starting the same thing over in a new thread every day. They really hate public education. [/quote]

Google Corey DeAngelis. It's like his job to tear down public education. He is a childless man who went to state schools. Works for Cato.

I will now add that I am not saying he posts here. How would I know if he does or not? I will say he is an excellent example of a certain type and much of their rhetoric is repeated here.

I think MCPS is giving them more pushback than some of the other regional boards. Let's keep it up. [/quote]
DP.. [b]you guys do realize that MCPS admitted that enrollment has gone down unexpectedly[/b], right?

No, it was expected to go down because of the pandemic and online learning.[/quote]
? [b]Online learning in MCPS VL is still counted as part of the student bod[/b]y.

The rest left MCPS: some moved, others went to private.

Once again: MCPS has acknowledged that for the first time in 10 years, the total enrollment dipped below 160K.  Once again: some moved out of MoCo, whle others went to private.

Private school have stated that applications have gone up by a lot.  I don't doubt that many did pull their kids out and put them in private during the past two years. I know of a few personally.

We are still in MCPS. Hindsight: I wish that I had pulled my MSer DC out and put them in private for two years, but I kept hoping that things would get better. DC got an A in Algebra during VL last year (and other classes), so I had assumed DC was doing fine..  Just got DC's MCAP results for Alg.  It was abysmal. How in the world did DC get an A but a score of 4 in MCAP?  Something like 90% of students in MCPS Alg1 scored below expectations.  This is why parents are furious. I'm furious.

The easy grading and lack of HW during VL created this mess.  Yes, I know grading and HW was pretty lacking precovid, but it was better.  DC's PARCC scores for ELA/math were always good -- meets expectations.   The year of VL, the scores tanked.  MCPS has acknowledged that the scores tanked across the board.

You can try to spin it any which way, but MCPS isn't doing "fine".  Granted, many school districts aren't doing fine, but we are in MCPS, so let's focus on MCPS.

It's not fine. That's why a lot of parents who could left.[/quote]
Last year when MCPS was 100% DL. That's when most of the unenrollment happened.[/quote]
yes, exactly, but the pointis that online learners in MCPS are still counted as part of the student body.[/quote]
