[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s super savvy and culturally driven: in our MoCo hood the new Americans realized the poor level of instruction - and so did something about it.  Hats off to them.  I as a dumb fifth generation actually believed MCPS’ hype that ‘all the schools are good.’  No, MCPS invests in their magnet program because it’s the only thing the failing bureaucracy uses to justify a 3 billion budget.  Evidence?  There is absolutely no discussion in this county of ending/reforming magnet programs and equity.  We have no similar discussion of ending/reforming Blair Magnet - the way TJ has reformed their admissions.  This is the bigger scandal than cram school work from new Americans.  [/quote]
I don’t live in MoCo or anywhere near it, however this nonsense of paying for unnecessary tutoring and coaching is affecting my children as well. So, seems as if this is insidious and pervasive in many school districts throughout the country. We have schools with excellent ratings yet parents are compelled to hire tutors for average to above average students. Why? Well, because they want to be even better, to far surpass the mediocrity. Its the only plausible explanation. Why even attend school anymore, if you are just going to go ahead and pay someone to help set an unrealistic standard for the rest? It’s an unfair advantage.[/quote]
