[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish there were educational equity. It's wrong that accelerated classes are offered at wealthy schools, but equally advanced students at others often lack access to those same opportunities.[/quote]

This has nothing to do with PTA's. [/quote]

It probably does not have anything to do with MCPS either and merely a figment of imagination of this person.  Can the poster give examples of what accelerated classes are offered at wealthy schools but not in poor schools? Especially, if the size of the student body is same and students are at the same level of academic achievement?

What no one is saying that when parents are prioritizing education and making sure that their children are getting enrichment and acceleration outside of the school,  their children do better.

Not all parents are rich who can outsource tutoring, enrichment camps, educational trips etc.  Many are MC or LC parents who are educated themselves.  And because they are willing to sacrifice their own time, energy, resources and money to provide these outside of the school day to their kids, there is no way that other kids can catch up to these high achieving kids in academics.

So when the parenting and family life is not equitable, what can be done? [/quote]

MCPS is offering free tutoring.  They offered it last year and all summer.  If you choose not to use it, its on you.[/quote]

In the end, it is the parents who instill their values - good, bad, indifferent - in their children. [b]Children fail because their parents fail them[/b].[/quote]
