[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony, of course, is that people on DCUM will claim again and again that famlies "over there" don't care about education, don't bother supporting their childrens' academic success, etc.

But the moment they DO take steps to support their struggling student, or their student who needs accelleration, it becomes yet another thing to complain about.

It's almost as if poor and working class families can't do anything right, per DCUM.

More to the point, its as if a certain type of parent doesn't like the idea of a more level playing ground and wants to root out any chances kids have to access affordable support. [/quote]

Actually I think the guiding principle here is that whatever MCPS does, it's wrong. Why isn't MCPS supporting tutoring? Bad horrible MCPS! Why is MCPS supporting tutoring? Bad horrible MCPS! [/quote]

It's good that MCPS is putting public school administrators in private schools.[b] It means they support school choice and it paves the way for lots of charters to open in the county. [/b] Finally MCPS will be on par with all the districts around that have school choice through charters.  2.0 will be somebody else's problem when MCPS students have a choice of charters.[/quote]

Good point.  It does make it seem like MCPS is supporting the idea of public school employees/administrators in private schools.  After the recent curriculum fiasco, plus the incredible incompetence, many parents could get behind some school choice.

I'd much prefer a stronger public school system in this county, but MCPS and the BOE have proved that it is simply not possible.  Maybe there needs to be more options.  [/quote]
