[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We left MCPS after the Spring shutdown due to Covid.  Went to private where our kids attended in person all year.  Learned what we were missing, ranging from smaller class sizes, to attention for all kids (including the high flyers and the quiet ones, not just the trouble makers and those who needed some catching up), teachers who got to know our kids (because they weren't one of 30 in a classroom, one of 150 they saw in a day), a place where our kids who weren't star athletes could still participate in sports and other activities because it's required, and there aren't 100 kids going out for 20 spots.

Long story short, we are not going back to MCPS.  HHI is $350k.  Our priority is our children's education, and MCPS no longer fits the bill.[/quote]

We left mcps precovid and moved to a private private boys school in dc that apart from small class sizes and all can participate in sports, the academics have not been better and in classes worse. Moving back to public, can’t justify the annual cost at over $30 grand. [/quote]

We just left our private and returned to MCPS and couldn't be happier. The AP options in HS seem much better and it's also free. [/quote]

Until they do away with APs.  It is not equitable. [/quote]
dp.. absolutely zero intent of that happening. If anything, they push more URM to take AP classes/exams.[/quote]

Really?  Not from what I have seen.  Give it a year or two.   Then we can talk equity.
[/quote]
and what have you seen?[/quote]

Many, many instances on inequity toward URM.   Forget the APs and even things out. [/quote][/quote]
