[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore City Public Schools is being sued for defrauding tax payers.  https://www.baltimoresun.com/education/bs-md-crump-city-schools-suit-20220706-b3zaf3sn2vfcjdjzmvxqsfd5hm-story.html

Should MCPS also be sued? Attendance record keeping has been abysmal at my child’s school. Grades mean nothing and students received 50% for not doing assignments. The net result is that students are being denied a quality public education and students have gaps from the lower standards. [/quote]

All the kids I know are doing great. Not sure what the problem is.[/quote]

This kind of comment shows up on any thread that is critical to MCPS.  What is your measure of "doing great?"  Do you understand that in an environment of eroding standards and grade inflation, there will still be kids who are getting all As?  Does this mean that they are receiving the education that they deserve?  That public officials are using their stewardship over our children and our money in a way that produces the most benefit?  It is naive and uninformed comments like this that enables poor leadership.[/quote]

My kids are doing great too. It's not just straight A's but far above the 99% on standardized tests. COVID didn't impact them at all as far as I can tell, but they were engaged in DL while many of their friends played games all day.[/quote]

This is true. We know many kids who are gifted and academic oriented have not shown any negative impact and they were right back on the trajectory when they went back in person closing the year very strong. Unfortunately the secretive and discriminatory admission to magnet programs are going to put them at disadvantage. Many are moving to Urbana and Ellicott City for FCPS and HCPS. [/quote]
