[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Can you guys please discuss this amongst yourselves?

MCPS is bad because there is too much repetition. Also, there is not enough repetition. Also, there is too much drilling. And not enough drilling. And too many topics are covered. And too few topics are covered. And it moves too fast. And it moves too slowly.

Meanwhile, there is one thing that is very clear, namely your contempt for your children's teachers.[/quote]

No one has expressed contempt for MCPS teachers.  Some are doing the best they can under the circumstances.  They can't help themselves.  This does not mean one buries obvious problems with the school system.

I repeat, a number of elementary school teachers I have met trying to teach math and science to children are not the sharpest tools in shed.  I feel for many of these children, who by the time they get to high school and college, will feel locked out of a number of exciting areas of current and future study because of their sense of inadequacy in math and science.

Save for the courageous and disciplined, most will have lost the ballgame before they leave middle school.  Unfortunately, this is to the burden of trying to overcome fundamental deficiencies dating back to their elementary school education.

I am sorry you do not agree with the airing of legitimate concerns by concerned tax paying citizens. [/quote]
