Yes I did. And I regret to say, the writer was not doing a great job organizing the article. She first mentioned economic hardship. Then changed topics to teacher instructions (to be relevant, to reteach ...) What exactly is her point?

Anyway - if it is economic hardship - it is not MCPS's problem and don't try to make it so. 
If it is a teaching issue, then something may need to be done but for most people here I highly doubt that they would be very enthusiastic about changing the teaching style to something like "reteach" "slow down" to make the "dropout" situation better.

If people are dropping out of school because of economic hardship, then it is MCPS's problem.[/quote]

No. Economic hardship has nothing to do with schools. The school system is not there to solve people's economic problems. MCPS provides a platform for kids to go to school. If the parents choose not to send their kids to MCPS because they value money more than education, that is not MCPS's problem.

If the MCPS wanted to ask the DA to sue the families for dropping their kids out of school, that I would have no problem, just don't spend our education money on the legal fees.
