[quote=Anonymous]We left Silver Spring because of the schools and because of the culture within MCPS to talk down to concerned parents and community members and completely disregard our feedback. I think we would have been more willing to give the schools a chance if we felt the administration actually wanted what was best for our schools and communities. Instead we got complete disengagement from Starr, a meaningless string of numbers offered to justify terrible decisions and that could only serve to diminish the quality of education for our kids. I think characterizing it as White flight obscures the real problem, which is that educated parents of any race who have the financial resources know they can do better and are not willing to invest the time and effort to improve the schools if it is a process that MCPS is not interested in facilitating.
