[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well my kids are in W schools and I would say the education has gone from so so to bad.  The class sizes are ridiculous (32 kids).  The new report cards tell you nothing other than your kid meets low state standards.  I have caught the staff giving out grades my kids didn't earn just to cover up problems.  MSA test scores overall are falling.  The teachers have not been trained or have the resources to implement 2.0 in the full capacity Starr proposes in all his propaganda pieces.  Parents don't like 2.0 and when I have met with teachers one on one, they don't like it also.  They just can't go on record to say what they really think because they fear retaliation.  Not everyone dislikes change but of course, people hate change when it means going from a so so curriculum to an untested, unproven, bad curriculum.

If choosing between MD and VA, I would recommend VA hands down.  Too many problems with MCPS right now.[/quote]

I was referring to an elementary, a middle school, and a W high school.  Report card problems relates to the elementary school.  Giving out grades undeserved was at the elementary and high school.  2.0 problems are at the elementary, middle, and high school.  2.0 was introduced to all high school level math courses beginning this year even though the teachers don't have enough training nor the materials.[/quote]

So what are you doing about it? Did you go in to your kid's ES or HS teacher to complain that your DC didn't deserve those high grades? How is the system supposed to get this message if you did nothing?[/quote]
