[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One key to a student's overall educational success is how involved are the parents in the educational process.

How easy is it for parents to know how their child is doing and if there is a problem, how easy is it for them to talk with staff to find out how they can help their child at home?  What are the only times available for meetings at school?

In my opinion, MCPS fails at encourage parent participation.  Many school assessments are labeled "secured" documents so parents have to make appointments during the work day if they want to see their child's tests and exams.  Hard for families of single parents or families where both parents are working outside the home.  Especially hard to do if you have a long commute to get to your job and/or if you have to rely on public transportation.

Each county test cost thousands to develop. If students are allowed to take them home, new tests must be developed each school year (in some cases, each semester). That's a hefty price tag all because kids can post them on FB, Instagram, etc.[/quote]
