[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually within education circles and more importantly higher education circles, MCPS is being studied as an example of a failed system. [/quote]
Not being snarky... cite your source? I'm genuinely curious.[/quote]

John Hopkins for sure. At least a few case studies came out during the audit. [/quote]
PP here... The Johns Hopkins report was regarding the 2.0 curriculum, not the entire system.  The curriculum is a big part of academic quality, obviously, but it's not the same as the whole school system. Additionally, at least MCPS was willing to get an independent study done on 2.0, and then scrap it based on the study. Is it late in coming, maybe. I am not an educator, so I don't know how long you are supposed give the new curriculum a chance.

I'm not happy with 2.0, but my 8th grader has done fine with it.  Scores very high, etc.. And I'm glad that DC will get a chance to take lots of challenging classes in HS.[/quote]

Let's not let a few facts get in the way of this crazy narrative. :D[/quote]
