[quote=Anonymous]I think tracking would take care of many issues in all schools.  The higher ratio and the lower ratio focus schools.  It is not fair to plop 15-30 kids together in a class with huge discrepancies in learning, thinking, disabilities, language skills etc... and think 1 (ONE!!) teacher can impact all of them to their best of their abilities all year long.  But this county is a liberal PC area where they want to mix classes with equal amounts of girls/boys, races and learning skills.  It does not work.  If everyone wants to be treated equal in gender, race and culture, the ONLY thing MCPS needs to do is track and place kids regardless of the above in classes appropriate from them.  From 1st grade to 12th grade.  But then the minorities would actually see front and center how the majority of their kids are the ones at the bottom and they would complain that they aren't being treated fairly.  It is a lose lose situation.  Everyone has to walk on eggshells.  All kids lose out on a good education in a classroom with peers of their own abilities.

Yet there are people complaining about how the schools are segregated here??  Give me a break.  There aren't many counties in this country that try to blend mixed cultures and races more than MC.  We aide illegal immigrants.  We change school zonings all over the place and not the closest to the school per say.  All for mixing SES and race.   The focus schools get so much more yet complain they aren't being treated fairly.  Again - lose lose situation.

If everyone held themselves accountable for their kid's education and not a school district that only sees them 30hrs a week, there would be a lot less finger-pointing and maybe a little more learning going on.  But that takes work and we all know how this country feels about hard work.
