[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really get the MCPS bashers. I've seen other public school systems, having moved a lot for secondary and higher education as well as for jobs, and there are a lot of poorly run school systems out there. I'd gladly pick MCPS over all of them.[/quote]

By the end of  the year my daughter's math teacher did the tests live with the whole class, giving them the answers. Things are not okay.[/quote]

Was this Middle School?

My kid’s MS Science teacher would also straight up give the kids the answers.  The kids just had to show up, copy down what the teacher said, and they would get an A.

Would you believe some kids in the class STILL didn’t do the work?  What the actual F?  Even my kid was puzzled by that.

Last Fall, MCPS changed the grading system so not turning in an assignment got you 50% instead of 0%, and you could take more classes pass/fail compared to before. So if you just do 1-2 assingments, that'll put you over the % you need to pass (60%?) since not doing it gave you a 50%. MCPS cooked the books basically.

We moved to private last year. There was no such chicanery.[/quote]
