When we became parents in this country we realized that K-12 curriculum and instruction is sub par across US.  MCPS remains the better option in DMV public schools as well as DMV private schools.

We are legal immigrants who came to US with plum job offers in hand.  We realized that we were invited because of the excellent education that we got in our country of origin.  So, the last thing we wanted was to make our own kids less competitive by relying on the education that was being given to them.

We just cherry picked from MCPS magnet curriculum, TJ, Stuyvesant, Sugarland(TX), India and Singapore and supplemented ourselves at home.  My kids went to MCPS magnet programs.

I admire parents who throw money, effort, time, advocacy etc to better their children education but the truth is that the clock is ticking. Your kid is in the school system for a finite time only and you need to do whatever you can to make sure that they get a robust and well rounded education while they are under your roof.

Racist?!?! You are crazy. Teaching to the lowest common denominator helps no one. Everyone gets a worse education. This is exactly what we do too - We supplement to fill the gaps because our schools are failing these kids in the name of equity. [/quote]

Teaching to the LCD is the most effective way to decrease the achivement gap. It's a fact.[/quote]
