[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Sorry, MCPS was always a substandard educational system - even 36 years ago.  It was shocking for me to come from India - a 3rd world country-  and see how terrible MCPS was and how dumb the teachers were. [/b] Then I also checked out the private schools.  And their education sucked worse than MCPS.

I had to become very hands-on with my kids education and put in hours daily to give them a well-rounded education (even when my kids were in the magnet pipeline) outside of the school hours.

Do I dislike that MoCo has become a sanctuary county?  For sure.  Do I dislike the diversity? Not at all.  Were Blacks and Hispanics and poor people always doing terribly? Yes.  I would say that MCPS has always given poor education to students - but it is also a reflection of how uneducated the parents are.  Most cannot help their kids with ES and MS level Math.

It is just that when a lot of "high achieving" (in comparison to the natives) immigrants, whose families prioritized education,  started to do way better than the natives in measurable ways, everyone started talking of achievement gap as a racial injustice.  The achievement gap always existed because standards of K-12 education in America has sucked balls for past several decades, and people get by only because of their accent or skin color.

I actually like MoCo.  MCPS may be better than many school systems.  But, if you think that without your intervention your kid can get a world-class education in MCPS?  Nope.   [/quote]

I’m always amused when people from India trash the US educational system.  India refuses to participate in international academic assessment test like the PISA because when they do they score absolutely abysmally.  The last time India participated they ranked 73rd out of 74 countries; barely beating out Kazakhstan.  They were slated to take it in 2022 but pulled out at the last minute.

You have to look at the wealthier areas and compare, not the impoverished area.  Their higher level schools are far superior.  But, most parents here wouldn't tolerate strict no nonsense teaching.[/quote]

Majority of India is still impoverished. But, the UMC population has increased rapidly too in recent years, and they are the ones who are comparable to the citizens of wealthy nations.  The quality of education for this population is extremely high.   You have to open your eyes and see that "Educated In India" folks are going all over the world to become the richest ex-pat community.

NO you have to look at it all, because US schools systems have to educated all kids, impoverished and wealthy.[/quote]

I don’t think we are doing any better than India or any other countries in that regard. Maybe money spent “trying” to educate population category??[/quote]
