[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A huge number of us teachers are raising our kids in Silver Spring schools.  No one --  and i mean no one -- knows the schools better than we do.  We value our children's education probably more than other other profession.  We would never let our kids go to schools that don't meet our expectations.  And we don't. [/quote]

DC is at a focus school in the SS area. About 1/3'rd of their class reads at +2 grade levels. Sure there are some kids who struggle too, but the point is there are plenty of high-achievers. The nice thing about these schools unlike schools in areas like Bethesda is there are more differentiated learning opportunities and class sizes are often much smaller.[/quote]

We are at a focus school.  They exclude parents from volunteering and there is little communication.  There is also little differentiated learning opportunities and at our school they don't work much with the kids 1-1, even if an IEP mandates it.  We rarely get work home and when we do its weeks later with corrections they never reviewed with our child/bit late.  MCPS is a very disappointing experience for us.[/quote]

I posted earlier, but this is nothing like our experience at a SS focus school.  We're invited to volunteer, I get DD's work back daily with corrections, and she has plenty of opportunities for differentiated learning.  I'm sorry about your experience, PP.[/quote]
