[quote=Anonymous]The way MCPS is going--

in lowering the bar so that B students (85 percentile) and other lower performers are in accelerated math classes, which--depending on which school your DC attends--can significantly slow down the class, making implementation of accelerated math classes inequitable,

only running ELC for three years and not having a satisfactory replacement program in its place,

in effectively kneecapping Blair SMCS--MCPS's version of TJ--by greatly reducing, geographically, who can apply--

I can see more flight out of MCPS, starting with mixed-earner areas like Gaithersburg. Los Angeles has many high earners with higher performing students living with mixed earners, but there is no way they would put their kids in LAUSD at this point. It is striking how--in a large city full of high earners and higher performing students--LAUSD's demographic looks similar to Watkins Mill. Parents of higher performing students know to move to those suburbs where there is a critical mass of other parents who value education that is not watered down.

Here, parents of higher performing students will see how little MCPS values its accelerated learners and will either do private school, homeschool, or move out a little bit farther to somewhere that values education that is not watered down.[/quote]
