[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the OP - It is all relative - parents and kids who have had a great school experience prior will probably find MCPS lacking. Many who start with MCPS might not know any different/better. It greatly depends on your childs current school size, culture, overall teacher quality and your child's comfort/friends at school. So many variables - within MCPS and between kids. But overall, even in the "good" schools, it is best to expect just an average experience these days - that way you will not be too disappointed .[/quote]

So the reason I'm happy with our experiences in MCPS is because I'm too ignorant to know better. Thank you for enlightening me.[/quote]

Maybe not for you, but for some, yes. Some people are lucky and happy with their experience because they are in a better school and have gotten good teachers, or at least decent teachers. But I dont believe this reflects the majority. Many feel like it is not good - but probably the majority feel like it is "just ok" or "fine" - I have heard these comments over and over. We have done both public here and in another state (we were outside Chicago), as well as private. There are major differences between school systems (and private) that are hard to just imagine or even see from a website or brochure - parents or kids need to experience to fully appreciate - that is all I was saying.
And a friend of mine who has a child at my child's MCPS public school says they won't even tour a private school because she "just doesn't want to know."[/quote]
