[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the change is that there are a lot more poor brown people now, much like the rest of the US, and many don't like it.[/quote]

Whether you like it or not, doesn’t change the fact that the demographics of MCPS have changed.

OP’s sister doesn’t really see it at Wootton, but we see it at other schools.

Our MS sends out every email and newsletter in Spanish and spends money to have translators at all events.  My friend at Frost doesn’t report the same.  [/quote]

I'm sorry but this has nothing to do with brown skinned children. My kids go to school in mostly white Bethesda and Chevy Chase schools where most kids are wealthy and it STILL SUCKS. It's still the same MCPS lame curriculum taught in some newfangled way. FARMS has absolutely ZERO to do with it.[/quote]

I think it depends on the school.  You’re partially right, but both issues have caused a decline in MCPS.

We are at a high FARMS/high ESOL school and every year we see money getting re-allocated to hiring more ESOL teachers, and less money do music/art/PE.  We have 700 kids at our school, and only 1 PE teacher.  But we have three (yes, three!) ESOL teachers.  [/quote]

We are in a low FARMS ES (around the same size as yours) and have only 1 PE teacher as well.[/quote]
