I'm shocked the teacher was dumb enough to put these thoughts in writing. I volunteer in our school's office where you hear all the teachers talking. I have been shocked about how they stereotype parents and how much animosity there is towards parents who teach their kids at home. Its just bizarre and sad how they dismiss kids who are really smart because their parent must be prepping them or working with them.

I do not get this perspective that it is bad for parents to do educational things with their kids at home. The curriculum is very, very easy now. It takes next to nothing for many kids to be far ahead. Should we be teaching our kids to act dumb so that the school system is happier? Makes no sense.[/quote]

[quote]I agree with this poster. The only thing shocking is this teacher put this in writing, if the OP's story is true. The sentiment itself is well known.[/quote]

I don't get the whole anti-intellectual and anti-achievement position that MCPS embraces so badly. I do understand that not everyone values learning or achievement.  If this is your perspective fine but go get a job at the DMV not supposedly educating students. [/quote]
