LOL

I’m not Catholic, but MCPS certainly does its own version of ‘indoctrination’.  And to think that any MCPS middle school values critical thinking and academics is a bit…laughable.  MCPS middle schools are not very strong at all.  [/quote]

You don’t know anything about the magnet program at Eastern do you?[/quote]

My DD’s good friend attended the Eastern Magnet for a year and then came back to our home MS.  Went on to a Magnet HS and had a good experience there.

Is it possible to know why they decided to return to their home MS? Thanks again![/quote]

Lots of kids left in DC's year. Those who left early on did not like the homework situation or the teaching and weren't really into the classes. It's a bad fit if your kid does not like to read for fun, write for fun or  does not like drama or art. Drama and art are built into projects for English and history. The ones who left after a year or more it was usually the commute. Most were from farther out in the county. [/quote]
