[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there so many private parents in MCPS discussions? [/quote]

When I am scrolling down the recent threads and come to an interesting topic, I click on it without always realizing the forum. So my kids never attended MCPS, but it was the same issue in their district. I switched my son to a private  school last year that costs less than 10,000 a year when he was in 4th grade. The first week of school the teacher wrote on one of his assignments, "it is important that you write neatly, copy correctly, and spell accurately. Please re-do this assignment. If you need help I am available after school." He was shocked a teacher would write that. He was used to being graded only on his ideas and thoughts. He has gone through several erasers because his teacher as she is walking around the classroom makes him erase and use proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling (unless they are hard words) no matter what the subject is if he is writing things incorrectly in his workbook. 
The quality of his work has vastly improved. [/quote]

This makes me want to cry. My middle school daughter just handed in a social studies project that was "OK," but her conclusion didn't make any sense at all. I can almost guarantee you she'll get an A on it.  :roll: [/quote]

Yup. And then get a weighted 5.0 for it [/quote]
