I find this crazy because there are tons of bright, hardworking kids in this county, that MCPS seems to care very little about.

The BOE is almost dismissive at the meetings when parents try to advocate for more 'enriched' programming or curriculum offerings.

The current leadership (BOE/Superintendent) have made it completely clear that they have zero interest in supporting enriched programming.  Their one and only focus is closing the Achievement Gap.  [b]And, that being said, it is in their best interest to not offer extensive enrichment opportunities.[/b]

Also agree with the PP that parents don't hold the BOE accountable.  We continue to vote for people who don't care about our kids.

And, lastly, MCPS is TOO DAMN BIG.  It is impossible for a school system this size to effectively meet the needs of its students.  And, over the past decade, as a parent, I feel that it's doing a pretty crappy job at meeting the needs of most students.  [/quote]

Oh, look, it's the "MCPS is trying to close the achievement gap by making my smart kid dumber" argument.

Do you know how MCPS measures the achievement gap? [/quote]
Do tell [/quote]
