[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Realistically. [b]If I have a 12 year old, should I start looking at private school?[/b]
But IS THERE ANYTHING that we parents can do to get the ball moving faster?

No.

Or rather, yes, if that's what you want to do.

(Really, I don't understand this sudden outbreak of "MCPS-ruined-my-children's-future-and-we-must-now-all-flee-at-once" posts. Did your child start MCPS in kindergarten? What have you been doing between then and now?)[/quote]

From the writing style, a lot of them seem to be from the same person (the one who posted this AM about how MCPS ruined her son’s education).[/quote]
I feel bad for her. She sounds desperate. I think in one post she said her son is failing. If her kid is really struggling, she may have an impulse to blame it all on the curriculum.  I mean, there are definitely problems with the curriculum, but most kids aren’t failing. So something must be going on that’s making her hysterical. [/quote]

The report says only 30% of student work samples demonstrated mastery of concepts, and you think exactly one parent has noticed a problem.  You think she's hysterical or scapegoating when 70% of parents are in the same boat? [/quote]
I took her post to mean her kid is getting failing grades. That’s stressful. Getting Ds and Es on a report card is what I think of as failing. That’s not happening for 70% of kids.[/quote]
