[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, the county rolled out the carpet for illegal immigration. What do you expect?

They also have basically legalized criminal behavior in schools.  Our cousins recently graduated from BCC. The stories they told of kids trashing bathrooms, doing drugs, fights, etc. Even the 'good' schools in MoCo are garbage.  MCPS is just one gigantic baby sitting program that's very expensive. High schools aren't places where kids learn, but are just hangout clubs with criminals.

[b]And even when it comes to learning, MCPS is a joke. You basically can't fail students. They can still pass by just attending a few classes even with tons of truancy.[/b]  They get so many do overs, extra credits and re-tests. They bus ton of poverty into schools for equity purposes, but in the end result equity really equates to everything becoming a lot crappier because the bar is never raised for all of the poor kids and all of the English as a second language kids, they inevitably must lower the bar for everyone because  they'd have to fail too many students who clearly can't pass.

I seriously don't understand why taxes go up for this freak show.  Liberals and progressives are getting exactly what they voted for. I kinda hope it starts making people of means leave the county.  Then property values will tank and the tax base for MoCo's progressive council in implodes.

MoCo is well on its way to becoming Baltimore in terms of failed schools, high crime, and stifling taxes that drive out everyone decent. [/quote]
I know right? That's why MCPS has a 100% graduation rate...NOT.  :roll: 
Idiot [/quote]

89.6% as of 2023.

Much higher than City of Baltimore, as it happens, which is 70%.[/quote]

Comparing MCPS to City of Baltimore is setting the bar pathetically low.[/quote]

My point is that there’s no way MCPS should be letting nearly 100% of the kids graduate when we know they’re not prepared for college or a career. [/quote]

They have to because guess what groups would dominate the non graduating non prepared for college and career cohort.

Therefore the whole system is required to suck.[/quote]

Which pisses me off, as a POC, because I want my kids to be educated and held to a meaningful standard. Not passed along and assumed to be incapable of meeting the same standard as their white counterparts because of their race.[/quote]

If you're children are good students and achieve academically, why do you think that they will be held to a standard that is less than meaningful? That's something you would allow?

[/quote]

To the last responder: No, that is actually NOT true.

[b]The standards ARE less and we were actually told that our child had higher standards and they should lower them because his classmates "came from all walks of life". This came from the administration. This was one of the reasons we left MCPS[/b]. Instead of raising the children to a level that will bring out the best in them, it is about diminishing potential. It's not only academics, also things like restorative circles that take away accountability, respect, consequences. [/quote]
I I call BS on that.[/quote]
