Hah...nice try!  Another MCPS parent in complete denial.[/quote]

DP.

Me: My kids are getting a good education in MCPS.
You: No, they're not![/quote]

PP here.  I am just basing my assumption on the fact that there are 18 pages of unhappy mcps parents whining about the lack of grammar and writing instruction among other things.  Perhaps you are happy, but that doesn't mean the curriculum is competitive with the rest of the country/world and private schools that are light years ahead of mcps.[/quote]
18 pages of mostly private schools parents trying to bash MCPS. 
MCPS is the most competitive school system in the DC area.  It is proven in any academic competition. Period. 
The "least desirable "school in MCPS will beat the best any other school system has to offer, that includes the privates .
[b]When was the last time a school other than MCPS has won the "it's academics " competition?[/b] [/quote]

That’s the measure of it all, right? A Saturday morning half hour trivia bowl? The kids that win automatically get a BS from MIT after all.

Also, it’s ‘It’s Academic’ [/quote]
Let me simplify it for you.
You all can't even compete with  MCPS in this simple trivia bowl, even after paying up $40000 . Don't even need to mention STEM competitions. 
Like I said, keep bashing the big dog so you can feel better about paying  for an inferior product. [/quote]
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]
Wow!!
Is it really that hard for you?
It's not about numbers. Each school chooses the three best-suited  students and alternatives to represent the school.  So a school can have just 100 students, beat all the schools with higher students  and wins the competition every year...because of the quality of the  education .
Hence the reason MCPS owns the competition.

Huh? MCPS high schools have class sizes that are typically 5-10x those of the private opponents. And even then, it's usually Blair that just crushes everyone, thanks to having the elite one percentile of students who get admitted to SMAC.

Furthermore, It's Academic is a show that's based on regurgitating memorized information, so it's not really in the wheelhouse of most privates.[/quote]

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but what's your purpose in this thread?  Seriously.  Yes, it's a game show.  My brother went to the school all you private parents salivate over and was on both It's Academic and Teen Jeopardy.  It seemed in his wheelhouse at the time.

New money private parents are the ABSOLUTE WORST.[/quote]

IDK - my DD wouldn’t be CAUGHT DEAD on It’s Academic. If I even suggested it she’d slug me. It’s not for everyone. Or many. It’s a rare bird, I think, that would do it. And yes, she’s going to a top university next year. We don’t have to specify what kind of school she goes to because it’s not relevant.

Shouldn’t this be a separate thread? [/quote]

GO AWAY PATHETIC HOLTON MOM[/quote]
Hey, chill with the Holton bashing. Their team looked pretty good on the recent episode when they took down Bishop Ireton and West Springfield! I can't wait for the new episodes to air because DD will be making her 9th grade entry decision based on who wins between Holton and Whitman in the playoffs.[/quote]
Well l can tell you right now, your DD should pick Whitman because Holton will just be a place holder.
LOL :D [/quote]
