I INVESTED money in land near downtown Bethesda, which has appreciated and will continue to do so. The schools are good as well!

for how much longer?

I've been in the system for over 20 years as a teacher.  born in Mo Co - spent my entire lifetime in this county

Don't depend on Bethesda "holding out" for much longer.

Long enough. My oldest who needs lots of help, has indeed received lots of help from MCPS, for which we are incredibly grateful, and will be out in a few years. My youngest can deal with whatever they throw at her :-)

My son received services early on, but through Infants and Toddlers. So 2.0 wasn't a factor. However, as a rising 4th grader, he was part of the 2.0 roll out.  You really don't know the effects until you move into another system, which is happening shortly for us.

So while you say your youngest can deal, I think that's a very sad statement to make about educating your child.

[b]Learning isn't about "dealing."  It's about being challenged to master material that will help a person to function in society.[/b]

We moved from having total autonomy over guides and instructional practices to having no control over what to present to a classroom of children each learning at a different pace.

Someone mentioned that "ignorance is bliss" with regard to parental awareness.  I should be amazed at this lack of awareness, but I'm not, as I do realize that many parents barely touch the surface when conversing with their own children.  Superficial discussions at best . . .

how sad[/quote]

[b]Well, "dealing" is important to helping a person function in society too.  Probably more important than algebra![/b][/quote]

Yes, because the end times are upon us?!?

We're just getting back from a string of college visits. I'm struck by how popular math is as a major at SLAC colleges these days.  I'm even more struck by how much more articulate (and personable) our math major tour guides were than the ones who start out by pointing out the possibility of never taking a math class.  The math majors could answer every question succinctly, and had a full command of the logic of course requirements, dining plans, dorm options, you name it.  The math squeamish couldn't even articulate the social life--it's great here, I'm like never bored.

But, yeah, you do you, hope learning to "deal" with chaos is enough. [/quote]
