[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are only 2-6 good high schools in MoCo and people pay a lot to live there.

The other people buy cheap houses zoned for bad schools

If you believe that the only good schools are ones in neighborhoods with over-priced real estate, what do you think we as a society owe to people who truly cannot afford to live in those neighborhoods?

Surely, you also believe that an adequate education is a human right and the key to breaking cycles of generational poverty. Are you okay with real estate prices being the tool that creates a permanent underclass?

The slide began with eliminating finals, but that policy was a symptom of decline, not the cause. What we are calling pandemic learning loss was like a heart attack after the patient had a Krispy Kreme donut following a decade of daily Big Macs.

It is time for a true overhaul. But one that must include parental accountability as well. And buying a $900k house zoned to a W feeder doesn’t discharge your responsibility. Affluent parents need to advocate for a grading policy that supports rather than diminishes students learning time management and accountability skills. Affluent parents need to have constructive conversations with their children about the feedback teachers provide and not just react to low grades with angry emails and vitriolic DCUM posts. Your child didn’t get an A on homework because they really understand the concept. They got an A because that category only allows 100%, 90% (if late), and 50% (if never submitted). The C they got on classwork shows their true achievement. [/quote]

Wait, they don't take final exams in MCPS?

Absolutely pathetic. What are these kids going to do when they get to college?  Fail so much our colleges will have to water down curricula?

This is insane. Where's the education in MCPS and why do they keep raising my taxes? [/quote]Finals, college, and success are aspects of whiteness.  As an anti-racism school system, MCPS must eschew these things and work toward equity.[/quote]

This right here. T[b]his is why I vote Republican whenever I can[/b], even though it’s a wasted vote in MoCo. The liberals have gone off the deep end with this bs. [/quote]
There it is folks; the MCPS forum is full with right-wingers crying the sky is falling.[/quote]

It's really old and seriously detracts from this forums usefulness.[/quote]

If by “usefulness” you mean “liberal echo chamber” then I agree. [/quote]

No, not at all. The problem is it's one to two posters spewing the same far-right propaganda day after day which makes it hard to discuss meaningful topics involving school. [/quote]
