[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montgomery County schools are not what they used to be.  the great schools are not allowed to be great anymore because everyone has to be equal. [/quote]
They are better and more diverse [/quote]
The diverse thing is tired. Is school no longer about academics? [/quote]
as a biracial family, I wouldn't want my kids in a non diverse school

As someone who grew up lower income, and then became UMC and lived in a UMC expensive town, I also wouldn't want my kids in a school that was full of primarily wealthy kids.  That has its own challenges.

So, yes, school is more than just about academics.

And I say this as a parent of a magnet DC who gets straight As, so academics is very important to us, too.

MCPS has its share of issues, but IMO, the programming and diversity are one of the few things I like about MCPS.[/quote]

I understand you and have no issue in what you say. The diversity thing is just beat into the ether and has been put in front of academics. There is diversity already at most schools. I have never nor my children been to a school where everyone is the same. Never. Both public and private. This area is one of the most international and diverse areas in the country. You will get diversity. Now, back to focusing on academics as it should be. [/quote]
