[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools are amazing?  Really?

-Test scores in the basement
-ES 3rd graders cannot read
-HS - no mid terms or final exams, you can write your name on an assignment and get 50% credit, and no one is allowed to fail - they just get passed along
-Teacher shortage - teachers are disparaged by parents and students and want nothing do with our county.  Why?  In part because we are spending tons on central office staff rather than teachers and mental health professionals.  Central Office staff put more administrative mandates on teachers that take them away from actually teaching. In part because we have no consequences for students behaving badly and they know it.
-The buildings are a disaster, many are either falling apart or over crowded
-Our own Board of Education rubber stamps everything the MCPS staff tells them to (they have completely forgotten that their job is OVERSIGHT)
-Speaking of, not the Council, not the state, not the Board of Education, NOONE oversees MCPS.  They do what they want, when they want, to whoever they want
-How much violence (guns, assault, secual assault) has occurred in our schools?  Do you honestly believe your child is safe there? A security guard got beat up at BCC by a student.  At Magruder a student shot another student.

MCPS used to be a great school system, but no longer.  This is what is keeping businesses from coming to MoCo[/quote]

I can’t imagine any parent not being at least a little concerned about their kids safety while at school.  This should be a priority for every parent.  [/quote]
