[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's truly amazing the bubble we live in here in Montgomery County when people can say the school system is "bad".  Have you people never lived anywhere else in the country?  Even if things were to truly crater here it would still be a better education than like 90% of the country.[/quote]

I think the issue is that folks are remembering THEIR high school experience, typically in an UMC highly segregated suburb of a Midwestern city. So, because this was pre social media, they knew less about what was going on even in the school they attended, AND their own experience was heavily curated/cloistered and they can't understand why they can't afford such a rarefied experience for their own kids so they blame MCPS.

[b]The actual factors are much deeper, rising income inequality, college debt, international competition that is raising the stakes for college admissions, and overall rising poverty in the United States.[/b] [/quote]

Yes, always blame someone or something else. I went to school in PG county which was as good as today’s MCPS [/quote]
