Nope, the school has an obligation to address these gaps. [/quote]

You should’ve learned that public education in this country is a joke. We all saw that last year with online learning. Get your kid a tutor. [/quote]

Public education here is excellent, but there are many hyper-privileged types that expect the county to raise their kids for them.[/quote]

LMAO.  Excellent? Not by a long shot.  Especially not in MoCo.  We do have some excellent teachers.  But the school system as a whole is pretty subpar.  [/quote]

That's strange. I feel my kids are getting a much better education than I did at a W 30 years ago before attending an ivy.[/quote]

You either have a bad memory or aren't very familiar with what's going on in the classroom now.[/quote]

NP here, I disagree with you. I don’t feel my children have received a sub par education. You may be able to find a district with similar stats (ESOL, FARMS, etc) that has done better but MCPS overall prepares students quite well. What experiences and data do you have to support such statements?

MCPS giving students students unearned grades just to keep passing students through without basic skills. No late penalties and a minimum 50% is part of that problem.  Keeping work examples at school so parents can’t see the real results is another factor. Same is true for all the 100% grades for completion or test corrections. [/quote]

Work samples? Ask your child- they are probably in canvas. Assessments will not be sent home, for obvious reasons.

I don’t think either of those are examples of a terrible education. I don’t agree with the 50% policy but I’m not sure it’s still in place this year. Most teachers I know were opposed to it, but it doesn’t mean the instruction is terrible. Just a bad policy. [/quote]
