[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, we're pitting HGC & magnet vs "regular schools." Meanwhile, even the "second tier" privates are surpassing the best MoCo schools. I was shocked, shocked, shocked when I toured privates. That is the real achievement gap: private education vs. public. The privates I toured much more closely resembled my public school circa 1970s/80s than MCPS of today.[/quote]

You can tell whether the education is better by touring the facility? That's a talent!

Also, what did your public school c. 1970s-1980s look like? This is what mine looked like: open classrooms, and almost everybody was white.[/quote]

Well, for starters, the teachers insisted on excellence. They made kids stay after school for help with homework, unlike my kid's teacher who thought he was "just fine" but spent her time making an extra $100 an hour tutoring.

Maybe I shouldn't have said "looked." But yes, you can tell a lot by looking online too. Pull up the homework assignments. Too many misspellings and messy, incomplete instructions from MCPS. No wonder the kids in private [b]right[/b] better - so do their teachers.   [/quote]

I hope you did this on purpose....[/quote]
