[quote=Anonymous][quote]MCPS is a large, heterogeneous public school system. While it exists for your child, it does not exist solely for your child, or for children like your child. It also exists for the children of lots of people who are not like you. Even if you wish it didn't.[/quote]

Lower standards doesn't help kids struggling. At least before with acceleration being offered there was actual data to prove that there is a problem and the achievement gap needs to be addressed. MCPS is addressing it by trying to hide it . If they lower the measurements at the top they lesson the gap. This serves ONLY one group and that is MCPS.

My biggest complaint against Starr and the ineptitude of MCPS is that they fail the community that needs educational opportunities the most but is less vocal. The kids from less affluent areas are failing at higher proportions than the kids at the top. The constant (I mean constant) repetition of 2.0 is not going to help these kids. They need quality one on one time with an educator. They need regular feedback and they need reward/recognition/motivation to achieve. All kids need this but especially the at risk kids. Starr decided to increase class size and adversely affect student:educator ratios to buy off the teacher's union for support. Nice job.

Starr and MCPS does not serve this population at all. They only claim to serve them because the parents from lower SES areas are too busy trying to put food on the table to voice complaints about this inept school system. It disgusting what MCPS is doing. [/quote]
