[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So when shall we rise up and launch a mutiny? None of us were subjected to a subpar education, so why are we politely going along with the mcps crazy train to mediocrity instead of demanding change?

We shouldn't have to supplement. The schools should be able to equip students for success. [/quote]

[b]When you have this many poor illegal immigrants, you teach to the lowest common denominator. [/b][/quote]

Really naive, ignorant, uneducated, and hateful comment. [/quote]

But..... the truth[/quote]

Nope, not at all. There is absolutely no proof that MCPS is teaching to the "lowest common denominator" as you call it.
If your child is in a class with a bunch of non English speaking students and is not being given the education according to his or her abilities, then you need to march over to the Principal's office and demand something, not DCUM. THis has not been our experience at MCPS nor has it been the experience of many other parents that I personally know in the system. 
Stop spreading false information. [/quote]

I have two kids 8yrs apart and I can assure you the only goal of ES is to bring up the rear. [b]My oldest was in tracked math classes accelerated 2 years with same like peers. They were doing group projects, progressive analytical thinking, and being taught as a whole class.   My youngest is in the 2.0 mixed setting and her high math group meets on average 2-3x less than the lowest math group each week. [/b]They are given busy worksheets and then sit and read books once they are done. Oh wait, they are constantly asked to help others kids not in the teacher's group who are so lost in math. Like mini teacher's aids. But wait, the kids don't even understand English. Now my daughter tries to interpret. She and her peers  can't even read their darn book. No learning for you! This is not just me. It is across the board. Mixed classes with selective small groups always take the lowest groups the most and the higher groups are left with 75min of zero direct teaching and boring worksheets. This year in 3rd my daughter may meet once a week in a small group. That is it. The teacher asks her to do Khan academy on chromebook sometimes. It's pathetic. [/quote]

My kid is in compacted math and is in an entirely separate classroom. Math is absolutely differentiated in our school. So is reading.. [/quote]
