[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is huge and from my experience, it is the principal, and whether students self selected into a program, that makes the difference a crappy school and a great one. To find the good schools here you have to see how happy the parents and students are. The wealthiness of the area alone is not a reliable indicator, unfortunately. If the parents seem indifferent, the principal is probably mediocre and it’s probably a crappy school full of mediocre teachers with a gem here and there.[/quote]

Yes, the leadership determines so much. You are right - there are a ton of mediocre teachers (and only a few excellent ones) and that needs to change.

We've had such excellent and dedicated teachers. From my vantage, the problem isn't MCPS but people like you. I went to MCPS 30+ years ago and my kids are doing way better than anyone I knew back then. This is because you only get out of it what you are willing to put into it. These people complaining also refuse to make any real effort and expect the county to do everything for them. That was never true in the past and is still true today.[/quote]
