[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why not? Because it is Montgomery County Public Schools, not Montgomery County Special Individual Instruction.

In a perfect world, maybe it would be Montgomery County Special Individual Instruction. How much more in taxes are you willing to pay for that?[/quote]

It doesn't require more money. It requires driving out the old guard. Entrenchment not resources is the problem.

1. Leverage what the parents who are supplementing are doing rather than fight it. 
2. Use cheaper, self paced technologies to let students move at their own pace.
3. Stop the teachers union from disallowing more lower paid assistance in the classrooms. Interns and other lower paid positions can be used to increase small group learning. This is what tutoring centers do. It doesn't take a masters in bull shit to help a small group of kids improve. 
4. Hold the system accountable. Teachers and schools should be evaluated and retained/let go based on individual student progress. If a student tested at the exact same level in the beginning of the year as the end of the year then that student was robbed of a year of learning. 
5. Admit mistakes and get rid of them. You can't drive change or improvement without honest self assessment. The majority of the central office needs to go starting with the superintendent.
