[quote=Anonymous]I think that MCPS is still a strong agency for teaching, I just think the upper-class is simply bitter as the once nationally elite upper middle class test scores start to reflect the county's shift to a poorer system. They think that the lower output by the current crop of residents takes the shine off of their kid's accomplishments in terms of national recognition from institutes of higher learning.  Bottom Line a much poorer and immigrant heavy system will never produce up to previous national levels no matter the curriculum, funding, discipline or teacher quality. I don't think it really effects the upper-class students unless they are emersed in a school with a lower class culture and the kid makes a few bad decisions which kids are known to do.  That said the opposite is true too that the poorer immigrant heavy population will never produce statistically on par with upper-class expectations no matter the curriculum, funding, discipline or teacher quality. Exceptions of course, moving the avgs a few points here and there... sure but Kids for New Hampshire Estates will never be competitive with schools like Westbrook. Merging those two statistically will always make the county look mediocre even though Westbook kids get a great head start to life and many NHE kids make up some ground to their deficiencies.
