[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^2.  It does NOT get better in MS except for Math. The rest are academically diverse classes. My Child has kids that call out, don't do HW, ruin it for kids who WANT to learn. Wish we applied for a Magnet. [/quote]

It's Montgomery County Public Schools. It's not Montgomery County Schools For Kids Like Mine.

And I don't even mean this to be snarky. I mean it quite sincerely. There seem to be a lot of people on DCUM who believe that MCPS should be MCSFKLM.[/quote]

But that is very snarky.  Would you seriously approach a parent of a special needs kid and suggest that the child be taught in the highest level, fast moving class if he could barely read?!  I hope not.  Equally, you shouldn't mock parents whose kids are stagnating and not being taught anything b/c they've "already hit the benchmarks" for the school year (and the next two schoolyears in some cases!).  Why would you want children to be warehoused in schools that aren't meeting their needs.  No one is suggesting an individual plan for every kid (although, that does happen in the special Ed environment). Parents are saying "don't artificially stifle a child's education in order to fit the new MCPS ideology."

No, I wouldn't say this to a parent of a special needs kid. But I would say it to parents who have complaints like "my child has kids that call out, don't do homework, ruin it for kids who WANT to learn", or like "my kids are stagnating and not being taught anything b/c they've "already hit the benchmarks" for the school year (and the next two school years in some cases!)".

Your kids are stagnating? They're not being taught anything? All year? (Or for three years?)

MCPS is supposed to serve your kid. But MCPS is not supposed to serve only your kid.[/quote]
