[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a student who was bused to desegregate schools in 1970s, I would say a plus of the adventure was getting to have friends from different backgrounds. However, I would say all of us received a sub-optimal education -- particularly in middle school. I think an education is more important -- and the county's money would be better spent in offering private tutoring and bypassing the 'phone it in' teaching/poor curriculum that's offered here. In the end, I think MCPS is hell bent of forgetting the law of unintended consequences and are going to go with a more extreme plan. In that case, MCPS schools are more likely to end up like S.F. -- more segregated: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/25/us/san-francisco-school-segregation.html My personal opinion? Rockville really wants to cover up for results of Curriculum 2.0 disaster by changing the subject and making themselves look like social justice heroes. The generation who were first given this crap is currently in 7th grade and heading into high school where they will take the SATs and the true effect would be revealed if it weren't for this distraction. [/quote] agree on all accounts however MCPS is on its way to becoming like Los Angeles Public Schools, not SF. Unclear if charter schools will stop the good performer flight or not, like it did for DC and L.A.[/quote]
