[quote=Anonymous]Let me ask one question to people who are in so-called better schools and have escaped the terrible curse of dealing with the "diversity" of Germantown schools -  are the education needs of your children  being FULLY met in the better MCPS school?   Are you not paying for enrichment and acceleration outside the school day in money, time or effort ?  Are you completely happy with the teachers, the administrators. the rigor of the curriculum. the grading, the textbooks and assignments or the opportunities?  No?  Well, then you are in the same boat as MCPS students and parents in  Germantown.

MCPS education is uniformly disappointing in all its schools.  Yes, the White and Asian population that is predominant in W schools get a lot of enrichment and acceleration outside of the school. Guess what? Asians and Whites in Germantown do the same for their kids.  It is a pretty much an even playing field.  As for the AA and HI students? Those with rich and educated parents are doing well regardless of if they are in Bethesda, Germantown or Silver Spring.

Unless your kid is going to a test in rigorous magnet program -
-  they are not getting a more rigorous and accelerated curriculum from MCPS, 
-  their  peer group in the classroom is not uniform in capabilities and intellect, and 
- the parents of most of their peers are not all equally engaged, aware and prioritize education.

And if your kids are going to magnet programs (well except TPMS and Eastern f**ked  some of your better neighborhoods last year)...then Germantown is a much better bang for your housing buck. [/quote]
