[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single student who is doing well at school, is doing so because there is enrichment at home.

It could be a parent teaching, Kumon, a tutor, other enrichment opportunities - trips to museum, exposed to parents occupation, camps, trips, vacations, etc.

Even if you are subscribing to magazines for kids or taking them to the zoo - it is enrichment.

Those who do not have the time or the expertise - hire tutors.

I do not believe that MCPS is doing a poor job as compared to other school districts, but I do believe that having highly educated parents, high HHI and high SES, a large number if expats in this area, has resulted in more academic enrichment/imtervention in this area.[/quote]

But what is MCPS doing for the kids whose parents can't help with this? It should be the schools' job to make up in school the enrichment, tutoring or whatever may not be happening at home because parents have to work or don't have the resources to provide them. At least that's what I would expect from the great Montgomery County Public Schools.[/quote]

You expect a school system to make up for all of society's inequities? That's a very high expectation.[/quote]

I didn't say all inequities but it needs to recognize that not every kid has access to the resources that others do. It's almost as if the system expects the parents to make up what they don't cover in school. [/quote]

MCPS already sends more resources to the kids with parents with fewer resources. You want MCPS to send even more resources to these kids? A lovely idea, but politically completely impossible, due to the desires of the parents with more resources.[/quote]
