[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These wacky fantasy posts about things like Potomac splintering off and becoming their own county and now this. :(

These ideas are half-baked  and will never happen.[/quote]
OP seems to be the same poster who's going nuts over potential redistricting and its "effect" on SATs. Same broken English and crazy rants.

OP, wherever you're from, do you have a version of 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'? You're now in Montgomery County, MD, and no one cares if they run their public schools in Shenzhen,  Seoul or Tomsk (which, I'm sure, they do!)  so just drop it already. It's getting old fast. [/quote]

Not OP, but clearly whatever is going on in Montgomery County, MD is not working. When MCPS has a $2.8 billion budget and they still have run down schools with achievement issues, there is something wrong. Maybe it is time to look at Shenzhen, Seoul or Tomsk for different solutions. Maybe even within our borders, there might be effective solutions elsewhere that could be applied here.[/quote]

No, we don't need to look to Asia.  We ran our own successful schools fine before we gave up tracking, textbooks, skills-based teaching and discipline.  We even assimilated many kids who didn't speak English.  It is only when we started expecting schools to mainstream every type of disability, send everyone to college regardless of innate ability, calmly soothe every emotionally disabled and violent kid, and provide a full range of social services that they started to break down.  We already know what works (and it worked better than the schools in Asia).[/quote]

Agreed.  There were good reasons that people moved heaven and earth for decades to get themselves and their family here.   Educationally it may be breaking down but it's not like we never knew and don't know how to do anything lol.[/quote]
