[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have taught in MCPS for almost twenty years.  I have happily had my kids in HCPSS since kindergarten.  I will be moving into Montgomery County next month as I couldn’t pass down the opportunity to move into a home that I inherited from a relative.  I’m very nervous and already looking into private schools for HS.

I know what doesn’t make the news and I’m not happy with the direction MCPS is going.  [/quote]

As taxpayers, we are so happy that your privilege can afford you a free house and private school tuition.  :roll: [/quote]

You should be happy she's stuck around for 20 years!  Many staff are leaving the MCPS hellscape.[/quote]
Left last year and would never go back![/quote]

How long were you here - i.e., were you here [b]when it was considered good/decent (before the pandemic)[/b]?[/quote]'

Hahaha!  How old are you, 12?

I started teaching in 2001 and the first teacher I interacted with told me he was retiring early/getting out/changing careers because MCPS was going downhill fast. A never-ending flow  has since followed.

We did put put our son in private (Catholic) school.  Having only one child, we could afford it. (DH is also a teacher.)[/quote]

How fast is the “downhill” if it’s still going on after almost 25 years?  🤣  just goes to show, a district this size with just as much diversity cannot please everyone, no matter when.  [/quote]

The decline  started with the influx of illegal immigrants and their children   in the late 90s. Families that had interest in education. Teachers were  told to cater to them. We are still told to do that.  [/quote]
Gotta keep the riffraff out. [/quote]
