[quote=Anonymous][quote]I would also add that I don't think it is true that the underperformance of those schools has to do with financial resources. I believe the amount per-child spent in PG County is the same, if not more, than the per-child amount spent in Montgomery County. [/quote]

The educational level of the parents is lower in less affluent areas. In areas with more educated parents, the schools are handed the higher test scores.

You can argue that MCPS isn't really teaching the kids at all. Most kids are taught as much if not more at home. In our area, every K walks in already reading or close to it. They have been taught basic math and went to pretty good preschools. Half the elementary school is in Kumon after school. We're more low key and don't spend intentional time teaching our kids at home but even our kids have known basically everything that has been taught in K-1st grade a year before it was introduced in school. The higher test scores in MCPS don't come from how much they spend per student or any superior teaching ability.
