[quote=Anonymous][quote]Sorry to be a downer. Maybe it's the rain. I do think things improve over time--but kindergarden seems to suck lemons in this county. [/quote]

I'm not very impressed with MCPS either. I do get the impression that there is "an emperor with no clothes" situation going on. MCPS seems to be using its test scores and obsession with high scores as a way to hide the decline in the actual quality and substance of the experience. I do think that the private schools offer a substantially better educational experience. However, I don't know that this better experience is worth 300-400K per kid.

I've taken the outlook that MCPS is a good introduction for my kids to learn how to deal with a system. We all need to do this and bureaucracy along with things that don't make sense exists everywhere. Its life. My kids will get good scores which will get them into schools for higher education. They'll have fun and learn social skils. We'll continue to supplement their education by taking advantage of all the things in this area outside of MCPS. We'll watch for their interests to evolve and then make sure they have access to classes and activities that support these outside of the school. [/quote]
