[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. My kids have gone to MCPS title 1 ES and then magnet programs in ES, MS and HS. In terms of facilities and teachers, MCPS probably gave the most money to the Title 1 school. However, the cohort and parents were as different as day and night. In the Title 1 school, mainly poor URM kids, FARMS, ESOL, unable to speak the language, new immigrants or poor blacks, poorly educated parents, zero academic support or awareness at home, struggling to survive. [b]There was no way that their situation could be improved because the teachers and school was just trying to make sure that the kids were not hungry and were coming to school so that they could take food home and eat 2 meals. [/b] [/quote] You don’t think that expensive-to-provide ESL education or meals were improving the situations of the kids who needed it? I do.[/quote]
