[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good discussion going on the local sub reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MontgomeryCountyMD/comments/102jg8a/parents_of_mcps_students_do_you_guys_have_a/

MCPS sound like an absolute disaster.  Zero accountability. Zero standards. Rapid decline of quality.  How long until people with money stop moving to this county to flee all of the progressivism ruining the schools and county?  The only reason property values maintained value in MoCo was always because of the schools.  The discussion going on now with messages from insiders is truly shocking.  MoCo looks like it is in rapid decline and once the schools go, what reason will there be to stayI?[/quote]

I disagree.  My child could not have been happier at MCPS.  He loved having the freedom to wander the hallways during classroom instruction and not face punishment.  He loved taking classes where he could do nothing on an assignment and still receive 50%.  He loved not having rigorous comprehensive final exams.  As a parent I loved the grading scheme in which the range for "Proficient" was 70-94%, because it allowed me to pretend that my C minus student was learning as much as the solid A students.

Wow. I hope this is satire.

Teacher here. I had MULTIPLE students not complete any Common Writing Tasks this quarter (we have two in English). They still passed with the 50% rule. How are we ok with kids passing who did not even attempt a test or major paper?

Kids are passing, not learning anything, and STRUGGLING in the next grade.

Another person posted frustration that teachers are not making kids read and are just showing movies…. Sometimes we HAVE to do this because kids cannot read. I have multiple 11th graders this year who cannot read above a 3rd grade level.

Make it make sense.[/quote]
