[quote=Anonymous]I think the PP nailed it. Too many parents compare MCPS to a private school education. Night and day. You can't expect MCPS to operate at the same quality level as a private school. Its just not possible. Exploding class sizes, changing demographics, losing students in high income areas while gaining students in low income areas, aging facilities with no money to improve them, and a union are all huge issues that don't exist at private schools. Some of these problems are made worse by MCPS decisions but overall private schools do not have to even address these issues.

There was a short window in MCPS when you could argue that some schools were close to the level of some good private schools. I think too many parents are operating under bad information thinking that MCPS is still run in this manner. Its not. Over the past few years either by design or by accident, the schools are leveling out. They all have the same curriculum which was always true but the better schools no longer have access to achievement oriented materials or acceleration. The HGC and Magnet programs haven't grown to meet demand. The class sizes grew out of control. [/quote]
