[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There sure are a lot of self appointed experts in education here. Dunning Kruger in action!

Public schools are for the entire public. If you grew up in America and have always known English, had enough money, had a place to live, and had no disabilities, you are already ahead of half of our students. That’s why MCPS looks to you like it’s “failing.”

MCPS Stats: 20% EMLs, 14% disabilities, 44% FARMS

Including you apparently.

Again with the victim mentality. Are you saying that most FARMS students are homeless? Unlikely. Since most FARMS are not homeless, then FARMS is not a high needs situation. Around the world including the US, and people in poor communities like Queens excel in school despite their financial situation.

What do you mean by “disabilities”? If physical, that does not factor in to academic performance. Assuming your stats are true (citation?), that’s only at the most 34% high needs—not half.

If only up to 34% of MCPS students are high needs, this does not explain why only 57% of MCPS students are proficient in reading 36% are proficient in math. [/quote]
