[quote=Anonymous][quote]We live in DC and were planning to stay in one of the better DCPS schools. I understand there is a huge stigma about DCPS schools, but I am in education and have been to them, seen the hard working highly effective teachers, the involved parents, etc. I love the idea of raising kids in a city.

What I want to know is: what would we be missing out on if we didn't do MoCo?

Things that make me not want to move: I heard there is a huge culture of bullying in many schools... Teacher friends have told me they get so much homework from parents posing as their child and the parents often try to negotiate grades. I know this can happen in any affluent area, but you don't hear about that much in NW DC.

Still, people tout MoCO as the best. What makes it so great?[/quote]

Its hard to be a teacher in MCPS right now. The new grade report is a disaster. Forget about having to deal with 5 calls from parents trying to negotiate a grade, you are now getting 28 calls from parents asking what metacognition means. You have to justify why everyone is a P. You have a new curriculum that makes no sense. You must follow it even if sections are missing, this is fun. You have to ALWAYS promote it and tell parents how great it is. When parents complain about the curriculum, the principal blames the teachers. [/quote]
