[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from a smaller but wealthier school district.  It was wealthy but couldn't provide gifted programs because it didn't  have enough gifted students.

DC was in the magnet programs in MCPS.  Grateful for that.  My other DC is not in any magnet program but they have the option to take a variety of AP classes.

Having stated that, I do think MCPS doesn't focus enough on academics  and instead pays too much attention to non academic programs.  Grade inflation is not helping these kids, and neither is the little to no HW policy, especially for math.

I'm also tired of all the scandals and safety issues that MCPS can't seem to deal with, most likely because they don't want to appear  racist, but they don't seem to realize that most of the issues impact minority  students the most.

I will be happy to be done with mcps in two years. I have seen it go downhill fast in the past 12 years.[/quote]

That's so weird. My kids education from MCPS today seems 1000x better than mine 30 years ago. [/quote]
Honest question.  How is it better?[/quote]

They study far more advanced subjects and are reading and writing at much higher level than was common back then. This may not be everyone's experience but my point is amazing opportunities exist for anyone who is interested. [/quote]

Amazing opportunities only exist for a small handful of kids...not the masses[/quote]

If you need that sort of thing and you're interested, it's available. [/quote]
