[quote=Anonymous]I live in Urbana and moved up here from Montgomery County like a majority of my neighbors. We are much happier with the schools here than we were back in Montgomery. I used to teach for MCPS and it's been going downhill for years. Teachers are working very hard but the demographics have changed a lot. I know it's unpopular  to say this, but when you have a fairly large group of students who are economically disadvantaged or learning English, that's going to take quite a bit of teacher time away from the other students. You have to slow down your pacing a bit and there are less students who can piggy back complex ideas off of one another.

I'm not saying all of Frederick is like this but am only speaking about our experience in the Urbana schools. I agree with other posters that I wouldn't want to live north of here as many pockets in Frederick have the same issues as MCPS in terms of poverty and needs. I'm a person of color so I don't spend much time north of downtown Frederick as there are certainly MAGA in northern Frederick.[/quote]
