[quote=Anonymous]There is such a disconnect from my perspective. The school systems like MCPS take 3 billion a year - which is an incredible sum - and provide poor instruction (even prior to the closing). They consistently choose rotten curriculum. The MCPS teachers are flat out unkind to special Ed children and love any kid that makes them look good. There’s too much testing. Their buildings are new in wealthy and poor areas and always deferred in middle class areas. They push values I don’t agree with - and that don’t work in the real world. (Behavior issues are not rewarded in the real world). Merit is rewarded in the real world. Sports is only valued in sales. It’s become an expensive Alice and Wonderland place. Where down is up, and up is down. Ready for education credits like the Netherlands.[/quote]
