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.  It's society's problem.  And, up to society to fix it.

Stop expecting the school system to fix society's problems.  Teachers are there to TEACH.  The County offers tons of support services through the county, and also through other non-profits.  Don't dump unreasonable expectations on the school system.[/quote]

[b]It's society's problem. Schools are part of society. [/b]What happens at school is society's problem and school's problem. Teachers can't TEACH students who can't learn because they're hungry or homeless or have PTSD, and teachers really can't TEACH students who aren't there.[/quote]

The prison system is also part of society. Do you ask them to fix the economic hardship of these dropouts?
MCPS has its own functions. It is an educational system, that is it.
