[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all do know that in the rest of the world (outside the DC-area bubble) people bemoan the common core standards because they are too hard, right? [/quote]

[b]Education needs to be localized, not federalized or even run by states or huge counties[/b].  I know they might like the power trip but it’s worse for the kids and teachers. And education in general.

I hope common core is shown the door.[/quote]

And why is that? Care to elaborate? What are your credentials in public education?[/quote]

I agree. MCPS split in 4 sections would be better able to cater to the needs of those communities better. The Pass-The-Low-Proficiency bar is too big a challenge for a third of the students and underserves the other third of the students.   Some areas of the big county have the typical bell curve of students, other areas have more right tail, and other areas have more left tail.  It's not working currently, and frustrating students, parents, teachers and principals.

Overcrowding issues could be better handled if localized as well.

Managing 25 disparate high school pyramids the way MoCo has been, especially the last 6 years has been a big disappointment. Such a shame. [/quote]
