[quote=Anonymous]OP - moving from NW to DC for MCPS schools was the worst decision that we ever made. We sunk too much into a house that has barely appreciated in value. Even though we are in the magic "W" cluster, the curriculum has gone down the drain. Math is horrible. We should have stayed in JKLM and decided to in middle or high school to move to VA or go private. Special needs pretty much sucks everywhere but MCPS is more understaffed. Special needs instructors, para educators, and the positions that support kids with special needs are gone now. ESL and salary increases for MCPS staff have absorbed what little there was available in the past. At our school the one special needs teacher end up doing more general work -reading and math assessments for compacted math, staff development, covering when a teacher has a meeting- then working with the special needs kids. She's as frustrated as the parents but this is MCPS - no accountability. [/quote]
