[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know if it's the building or the size of the student body or what, but we've also been disappointed.  The classes, with some exceptions, have been chaotic and not at all challenging, and they don't seem to be able to get a handle on bullying, despite several meetings with the school administration.  I've been an MCPS booster and very pro public schools generally, but we've made the very difficult decision to switch to private next year (which is going to be a HUGE financial hit, but I can't leave my DD there).[/quote]

I have friends with kids at TPMS and Sligo and Other area middle schools but none of them actually decide to pull their kids for private middle schools. I know of four (4!) families who were strong supporters of public education and who felt like they had to leave MCPS due to SSIMS. It’s really awful. The wafting weed smoke outside the boys’ bball game, the ineffective (though personally very nice) administration, the really really awful building.  It’s so so bad there. -kid in 7th really discouraged [/quote]
