[quote=Anonymous]For those who don't know, Dan Reed has railed against the downcounty system and MCPS in general since a group of very determined and very white parents bested MCPS in the 1990's to keep BCC from joining the downcounty cluster. While what these parents did was undoubtedly racist and MCPS was gutless in its response, the "problem" Reed is trying to rectify is that an incredibly large and diverse county cannot have a completely consistent approach to education, and outcomes are inevitably going to vary across schools and zones. It wasn't that long ago that Poolesville had a different school year to accommodate harvest seasons, for example. Results are going to vary across school and over time. And still, MCPS is one of the best districts in the country and within a group of 3 of the top districts in this area, in whatever order you choose.[/quote]
