[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is NOT one size fits all and never was meant to be in this current situation. But, [b]it DOES have an excellent education for those that qualify and are chosen to enjoy premium education such as the magnets and other elite programs.[/b] My child is in the PHS magnet program and absolutely loves it and gets so many opportunities that are building a highly favored college resume. However, for an average child, the education will be basic at best. I realize this as I do have an average child and I am already hesitant to allow her to stay with MCPS because I want more for her. It is a very large system and is currently and was oftentimes in the past, without a sound navigator. That makes a big impact. We needs great leadership, correct funding (used wisely), decreased nepotism and fluff jobs, and systematic changes that make a world of difference and let kids know that this means business (absences, grades and discipline). Unitl that happens, I will continue to look for private schools for my youngest. [/quote]

My kid at their home (zoned) high school is getting an education that, in many ways, is better than mine was. In a special program, to be sure, but it's a special program that's open to anyone at that school. You don't have to be "chosen", you just sign up.[/quote]
