[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]lol, my kids and I are not the problem.  One is doing well an a top 10, and the other 2 are coasting (a second will start at a top 10 in the Fall).  MCPS dumbed down the curriculum to the lowest common denominator years ago. The smart ones get it, don't need to do any homework, get As on exams (and even figure out that with a 54 or 63 on a midterm or last test), can still get an A for the semester or year.
MCPS realized this when they got rid of real mid-terms and finals.  They are so busy keeping to the rubric and teaching to the test (for the lowest common denominator), that they gave up on learning for learnings sake long ago  [/quote]

Actually the other person is right. Parents like you contribute to the culture that creates the SYSTEMWIDE problem of chronic absenteeism. Our culture right now says that school is optional, which is toxic and leads to madness. Just because your kids can handle skipping does not make it right. Grow up and parent your kids to meet the expectation.[/quote]
