[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not leaving MCPS for private. Mainly because I don't think private is good for education.

Private schools (the expensive ones) are really wonderful for other things - manners, networking, pathways to success, college application counseling, polish, discipline, grammer.   Private schools also do not have other distractions namely trying to bridge the achievement gap, social engineering, restorative justice, diluting the curriculum and teaching.

[b]I know that public education is in decline in the US.[/b] Frankly, I am surprised that free quality public education is something that people expect here. All societies are unequal with haves and have-nots.  One way to create the working class is to make sure that they do not have access to education that can give them an avenue to do well.  Other countries make education a privilege that is only for some people. US is also now going that way.  It is to be expected in such a deeply stratified society.

You know that, based on what? Compared to what?[/quote]

Widening achievement gap.

But, I will go with the JHU audit of how MCPS failed its kids. [/quote]
