Your response doesn't make any sense. Of course the top students in a 50,000 student pool will beat private school kids. That doesn't tell you anything about the quality of education in MCPS versus privates.[/quote]

Why doesn't it? If the MCPS students, who are receiving an MCPS education, are beating the [Insert Name of Private School Here] students, who are receiving a [Insert Name of Private School Here] education?

If you think that you're getting your money's worth from your checks to your private school, that's great. Be happy, and please stop telling me that my kids in MCPS are getting a crummy education. I don't think they are, and I know more about my kids' education than you do.[/quote]

The public school kids care about this, the private schools don’t seem to. Not my DD’s private school anyway. Plus in a smaller population it’s hard to find three kids that are going to care about an antiquated tv quiz bowl. It’s nice if some kids want to do it - I hope that Giant food keeps sponsoring it for them - but it’s a little silly. [/quote]
Ha, ha, ha. Is that the excuse now? Private kids don't care about a TV quiz bowl! ?
Then why they even participate?  Tell me what competition they care about?
This  is the easiest one they should have won most of the times since according to their parents here ,they receive an all-around education. 
I guess that all-around education is not up to par to MCPS.[/quote]
First of all, whether someone memorizes a bunch of trivia doesn't tell you anything about their critical thinking skills, ability to write clearly, etc. Second, few of the questions on It's Academic are things you're going to be taught in MCPS or these private schools. This whole tangent is ridiculous. Whatever your opinion about the quality of MCPS's teaching and curriculum, the results on It's Academic are a complete red herring to the topic. How about getting the thread back to an actual substantive discussion of relevant data and information?[/quote]
