[quote=Anonymous]MCPS parent here.  Buy a great house in an inexpensive area and start saving for private.  MCPS is a disaster.  Let me count the ways:
-teachers quitting retiring throughout.  They are overwhelmed and burnt out, and tired of bad behavior and no consequences for students (at all grade levels)
-lack of support from administration at all levels.  Teachers have no support from their principals and principals have no support from central office
-parents are impossible.  They are either not available (just try calling the many non-working numbers listed for how to reach a student's parent), or in your face about the grade a teacher "gave" their child.  Never mind what the student didn't turn in, or the grade the student earned.
-many schools with too many students.  This leads to class size of 26+ in kindergarten (with no assistant or aid), 30+ in MS and and 35+ in HS
-they don't hire people ft with benefits to help special ed students.  Most are termed temporary part time, which leads to many special ed students that are main-streamed with a one-on-one to not have a one-on-one, which means teacher is spending lots of time supporting the needs of the couple of kids that need more help, or worse, managing their behaviors
-focus of leadership is on bringing up test scores and equity.  Excellent goals, if what they were spending a fortune on actually worked, and if they didn't do it to the detriment of everything else. There's zero accountability for anyone, or for any program they roll out.

I could go on, but we pulled our last 2 out of what is supposedly an excllent MCPS cluster, and they will both graduate from private  [/quote]
