[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've spoken with parents who have older kids about why MCPS was considered good in the past. Based on our poor experience, I don't understand how it could have ever been good. Some parents had an interesting comment that the teaching wasn't better or worse before but the system embraced academic achievement and didn't get in a kid's way if they were motivated to learn. [b]2.0 is a complete reversal where academic achievement his avoided at all costs and kids are supposed to level off to let all the underperforming kids look equal to them. [/b] [/quote] This is a common belief on DCUM. That is, the belief that MCPS has a policy to keep high-achieving kids (aka my kids) down in order to make low-achieving kids (aka those other kids) look better. And yet nobody has ever provided the slightest shred of actual evidence that this is MCPS's policy. Either MCPS as an organization is amazing at keeping secrets, or it's not MCPS's policy.[/quote]
