Exactly. Just saw this bump from old post and realized I'm the +1 million poster. So flash forward a year later and my kid finally has books. He's now in private school. I wish MCPS would revert to some of the tried and true educational techniques: text books, movement & recess & PE daily; breaks; and small class sizes. That & better lunch is why most families pay for private.[/quote]

Revert to tried and true educational techniques like small class sizes? When I was in elementary school (not in MCPS), my classes routinely had 30+ students.

Also it seems to me that there are more cost-effective ways to get your child a good school lunch than paying ~$20,000 a year to a private school.[/quote]

Yes, but likely you did not have 30+ kids of widely varying abilities. It was a more homogenous group, even allowing for 30% non-college bound. Now you've got more special needs, more Non native English speakers, perhaps more truly accelerated kids, and more kids in poverty. Impossible to meet everyone's needs.[/quote]
