[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. It is Whitman.  There are great teachers and plenty of opportunities for advanced classes, etc.  Do wealthy kids hire tutors?  Sure, they probably do.  Doesn't change the fact that the school offers a great education to all its students.

Whitman is on par with all of the elite private schools in this area.  In some areas it is better.  Plain and simple.[/quote]

Yeppers.  Plain n' simple.

Why, MCPS takes pride in funneling all the best teachers and courses and facilities only to Whitman but not its other high schools.  That's totally plausible.  [/quote]

You're an idiot, PP.

MCPS doesn't "funnel" the best to Whitman.  If there's an opening, seasoned teachers interview w/ no guaranteed position.  New teachers end up where the openings are.

I can say from experience that there are plenty of fossils at some of the "better" schools.  But the kids learn regardless of their ancient ways.  The best teachers can be found in the struggling schools b/c 1) they're forced to improve their methods each year, as these children are not "sitters and getters," and 2) many WANT to be there.

I'm so tired of people OUTSIDE of the system who think they know how the system functions.

And I can guarantee that you, PP, would not recognize extraordinary teaching if it bit you on the ass.  A calm, quite classroom doesn't necessarily mean kids are learning.
