[quote=Anonymous][quote]Boy you like the word failed! You do realize there is a huge difference in MCPS paying a consultant to critique its curriculum (which by definition means it will be pointing out problems) and a researcher picking it out of all US systems and use as a case study of a failed system right?[/quote]

John Hopkins University is different than the paid consultants that MCPS usually hires. It was an audit not a consulting engagement.

When MCPS hires an industry consultant  (Metis group for example) its like a regular consulting engagement where the consultant delivers whatever the the organization paying it wants to hear. It works this way in every industry.

Auditors are different. Universities that provide peer reviews or audits are looking out to not tarnish their own prestige so they wont provide a biased report telling the organization what it wants to hear. They do give their fellow educators a break and tend not to be too harsh unless its really bad. While they are absolutely friendlier than external financial auditors, they won't say a stinking pile of poo smells like a rose.
