[quote=Anonymous]Our kids attended ACPS from kindergarten on through.

First came the fight to get them in whatever those higher classes are called at MacArthur Elementary. We had to self nominate and our kids were rejected, but later (2 years or such) they were accepted. Ha! So mom and dad tutored math, science, reading, writing every night.

In the freakish ACPS middle school years, now on the that track, came specific selected hired teachers (often worked in the system and picked up extra cash by tutoring) to tutor math and writing in addition to mom and dad.

While in ACPS high school, professional outside of the system teacher tudors, professionals ACT, SAT tutors, attendance at all ACPS special college prep tutoring, were sought, as well as mom and dad on duty. We weren't helicoptering: they got it. We just were back ups when stumped. We got it.

Mom and dad also had to run interference at highly select time/issues with the ACPS teachers/admin and it sucked, big time. We invariably lost. Surprisingly, some teachers can be as brick headed as the ACPS admin.

Thank goodness our kids were self-motivated and driven in spite of ACPS. They now attend very select universities in science and math.

Hang in there ACPS parents and students.
