My kids are in magnet schools in MCPS.   In fact, in my circle of friends (and we are Asians - so go ahead and flame) most people  have kids who are in magnet schools in MCPS. We were used to textbooks in our native country when we were growing up.  So, I still research and buy highly ranked textbooks (in amazon) for most subjects in each grade for each child.

I am not holding my breath for a better curriculum  or better trained teachers from MCPS or textbooks from MCPS.   I have asked and figured out that MCPS is not a transparent system.   These are formative years for my kids and I will not depend on the mercy of some benevolent MCPS God to gift them great teachers or actually help them reach their potential.

I feel that as parents, we have one job only -  to help and support our kids to the best of our abilities; and to give them a conducive, peaceful, supportive family life  - so that they can do their best, in all aspects of their life.    In the end, what they make of the resources available to them - is entirely up to them.

If others do not feel that their kids need textbooks, good for them.  I have no bone to pick with them.  However, I cannot understand why MCPS teachers are not willing to give the names of the various textbooks and sources that they use or that the parents should use to supplement at home?
