Holy smokes!?!?!?! Seriously????

MCPS is not in the business of training Olympians! It is a public school system. And extracurricular sports are NOT NOT NOT a primary function. School sports are fun, community building efforts.

Is literally EVERYTHING some kind of competition to you? Can't [b]anything just be done because it brings communities together in a way so that they enjoy being together[/b]????

How is this possible when MCPS divides the community by injecting race equity into the mix? 
Why deny opportunities for some highly abled students who are equally qualified? Why can't they treat every student equally and meet every student's needs to maximize their potential?

That's exactly what they've addressed with their new selection criteria by ensuring all students have access to these programs not just ones from wealthy schools who invested thousands of dollars into prep classes to make them appear gifted.[/quote]

Whatever you tell yourself to get though the day.

But I do agree that the parents and home environment are the top two factors in student achievement, with school influence coming in third.

There were a lot of FARMS kids in my kid's old school from the neighborhood that you could wave opportunities at them all day long, but they wouldn't care.  There were other FARMS kids who's parents were really strict, and they seemed to do fine as they got older.  The first group of kids were the same Elementary School kids who hung out after dark in the playgrounds.  The second group of kids, by and large were in homes before dark.  But I don't think there is a single parenting difference between them and the FARMS parents who were strict on their kids.

You don't need to be rich to be a good parent, but it's also true that many good parents find their way to success.[/quote]
