[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP.  One word - academics.  If MCPS had all top-notch, physically-safe schools, I doubt any parents would complain.  But MCPS isn't a top-notch district anymore.  It's a top-heavy, political-game-playing bureaucracy.

Take Blair as an example.  It's supposedly the "star" of MCPS' Magnet Program.  It's #31 in the State, #438 as a STEM, and #1,736 in National Rankings.  That's below WJ, Northwest, Clarksburg, Wheaton.  Even as a pure Magnet, the best-of-the-best in the County, it's only #186 of 857.  Given the resources and "Blair envy" bravado poured into the program, that's just plain embarrassing.  Why wasn't every six-figure member of AEI fired for this complete failure?  Good question.

As a parent, I want to give my kids the best chance at entering into a serious academic program, and that means the best college preparation possible with every penny my family has.  My child is not an MCPS social experiment.  If you want to play with someone's future, do it with your own child - not mine.[/quote]

[b]This is a good point? [/b] Our school has limited AP's and no advanced math or sciences.  They need to bring these classes to all schools.[/quote]

No, not a point at all. [/quote]
