Of course you do. Because you're a helicopter parent with a snowflake child. You probably even think your child is gifted.

The fact is (and try to stay with me, because I know facts may not be your strong suit) that public education is, indeed, to ensure that all children receive a basic level of education. That's why we have NCLB -- that's why we have SOLs. There are BASIC standards of learning that are imparted.

Public schools should strive for excellence, but it's not their role to differentiate or provide "more challenging curriculums for advance students." Some choose to -- hurrah! But it's not the mission of public education. Yet, you seem to view it as an entitlement.

Ok -  I gues you are saying that if you like mediocre schools staffed by people that insult parents, then vote for Apple Ballot/MCEA/teachers union or, more specifically, vote for [b] Kaufman/Evans/Barclay[/b].  That would not be how I would make an argument for my status quo candidates, but that is your choice.   As a bonus, you will also get high class sizes and a lack of transparency.

I prefer excellent education for all kids and more accountability of tax dollars.  This is why I am staying away from the education elite that promotes mediocrity, as you point out in your post.  Therefore, I support [b]Panner/Sechinger/Smondrowski[/b].   In doing this, I am prepared to watch the insults fly.  I am used to it by now.  In my view, your patronizing and insulting language hurts your case because it re-enforces my views about how the BOE and top MCPS people view parents.  [/quote]
