[quote=Anonymous]Many reasons to be unhappy with the instuction your child gets in the classroom -
- incompetent teachers who are the unfortunate  product of the US public school system
- incompetent teachers because the low teacher's pay does not attract academic superstars
- Classroom disruptions because of unruly students who cannot be disciplined
- Horrible, terrible MCPS curriculum and no textbooks
- undifferentiated student body. Under grade, on grade and above grade students are all in the same classroom and no one is being served.

What can you do? 
- Complain and insist that your child is moved to another teacher
- Enrich at home
- Download MCPS curriculum (only implementation sucked, most curriculum is not terrible), and teach at home
- Get a tutor at home
- Put in time and effort. It is only three years of hard-work from your side for the middle school years.

Once they are in HS, the differentiation happens naturally. Only the top students take AP classes. You could still get a terrible teacher in HS. At that point you do not complain and you hunker down so that you are not dinged when teachers give you recommendation.
