[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good discussion going on the local sub reddit:

MCPS sound like an absolute disaster.  Zero accountability. Zero standards. Rapid decline of quality.  How long until people with money stop moving to this county to flee all of the progressivism ruining the schools and county?  The only reason property values maintained value in MoCo was always because of the schools.  The discussion going on now with messages from insiders is truly shocking.  MoCo looks like it is in rapid decline and once the schools go, what reason will there be to stay?[/quote]

It isn't. It's the same or better at least in terms of opportunity. What's changed is the county's demographics. This has an impact on test averages but doesn't mean your kid will do any worse than they'd do if demographics had remained the as 1990.[/quote]

Definitely can affect you kid’s school experience.  Also affects how the school system spends money.  More money on ESOL staff means less money for other things (not a judgement call, just the way things work).

In ES, it has most definitely affected my kid’s experience.  I have had kids at our neighborhood ES for over a decade and have watched it change.  With mixed ability classrooms, the teacher HAS to spend the most time getting the kids who need extra help up to speed.  The higher performing reading and Math groups simple meet less.

So kids that need help are getting more help?

How horrifying. We should definitely put an end to that.[/quote]
