[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many of you know the size of your kids’ classes, before the announcement of increases. Last year our Pyle 6th grader had 34 in English. And just as many in history.  DC explained that they never discussed the books, too many discipline problems, a lot of worksheets and filling out mad libs style essays. That’s not an education. A lot of ostriches here.[/quote]

Have you brought that up with the teacher, English team , principal?  Even your PTA? [b]This may not be everyone’s experience.  Which is part of the problem, consistency across school and district[/b].[/quote]

But even when people tell their experiences with MCPS, other posters here insist we're lying or exaggerating, because they refuse to break up with the "MCPS is great" mythology that they're wedded to.[/quote]

[b]It's because they work for mcps[/b]. I haven't met a parent who is thrilled with the education in 6 or so years. Early elementary everyone is rosey but come late elementary and above, people know what's going on. Most won't speak up while their larla is still at the schools.

Ok you keep thinking that. Seems that some people want everyone to think like them. [/quote]

You're not throwing anyone off the scent by acting like you're not MCPS staff. The good MCPS staff speak out about the poor conditions and decline. The bad ones, like yourself, gas light and spread propaganda. [/quote]

First of all, I stated that there are many things about MCPS that irk me, but where they excel is in the programs and opportunities available for practically any child. My own child is benefiting greatly, and I know many others who are too. I'm really sorry that this positive comment I made about MCPS upset you so much that you're now convinced I or anyone who is having a good experience is an MCPS employee. Calm down.[/quote]

I never said or claimed there are no positive experiences to be had in MCPS. I literally said it's a mixed bag with some good schools and bad schools. [b]Then you challenged me on whether there are in fact bad schools in MCPS.[/b]

I think you're the one who needs to calm down and maybe let other people share their thoughts and opinions without telling they're wrong or they're made up.[/quote]

Stop being delulu - I never said any of these things. [/quote]
