[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honey, parents have waited decades for someone to clean house in MCPS. It will never happen. There own system of promoting from within prevents new ideas from coming into the school system.

MCPS would be afraid of any initiative for school choice because many parents would send their children elsewhere. Private schools are not writing their own curriculum and creating new social initiatives. They focus on a quality education with robust standards for their students. Private schools don’t round up semester grades, give 50% credit for unsuccessful attempts, or full credit for late work.  MCPS has slid back grading standards for two years that many high school graduates don’t know time management skills or the meaning of a deadline.

Then there’s the safety problems in MCPS schools. With weapons, rapes, and a shooting - who doesn’t worry what is going to happen when children go to school?[/quote]

+1. Truth.  Sometimes you have to destroy a system in order to fix it.  [/quote]
