[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fight is at the school board, not at your local school's PTA meeting or back to school night.   You can talk to your teacher about the tactics that will keep your kid engaged.  I haven't yet met an MCPS teacher who doesn't care.  They all care, but they do have to work with 20-30 students.  Asking a single teacher to meet each child's acceleration needs is a problem with 2.0, but not something you can affect at the school level.  My child's teacher told me "2.0 is not ready for prime time" but they are working out the kinks in each classroom.  Sorry my kid is part of working out the kinks, but I am satisfied with what she is learning, so I guess I agree with the OP.

16:43 here, and I am not fighting or ranting or otherwise communicating inappropriately at BTS night or PTA meetings.  I do not own yoga pants. OP is suggesting however that we should put up or shut up, and I disagree with that.

I believe OP and others also suggested going to BOE meetings in Rockville.  I've done that before and it is a farce.  No one is permitted (!) to participate in the process in any meaningful way.  So I will keep writing and calling and doing what I can to effect change.

(This is where I say again that the town-based system I grew up with is far better than this, because taxpayers have an actual voice.  They are heard.  Their input is taken into consideration.  This county-based system is anything but democratic, truly it is.)[/quote]
