[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids graduated out of MCPS last year. I spent a lot of my time through the years to research the MCPS curriculum and enrich, expand, accelerate it for my children. Yes, I did send them to MCPS for normal socialization, for learning how school works and other fun and interesting stuff, but my kids always had my home grown parallel system of education at home.  I covered most of the subjects (between DH and I, we have multiple college degrees in multiple fields) at home, except for FL which was taught by an MCPS teacher

My kids were also in the magnet pipeline and I am sorry to say that even in the magnet programs, it was common to have dud teachers and worse administrators. Of course, the magnet programs were a 100 times better than the regular program because of the excellent cohort of students, the informed parents, and the pace and rigor of the curriculum - but it also fell short especially in middle school because of some terrible teachers, exceptionally evil and lazy administrators, and the general exodus of great teachers.

Unfortunately, all this was happening way before COVID. The quality of MCPS education has been going downhill for a long time because of the swinging pendulum of extreme right and extreme left.

I have no words of wisdom for OP. My heart aches for her and her child. Please do whatever is necessary to make sure that they are getting a very good education at home, in private schools, in private coaching classes, through online resources. [/quote]

You're so extra. So was your response to a mention of not having a centralized teacher assignment in elementary. [/quote]

I am giving a possible solution, you moron!  Parents who can swing it should put together their own educational teams to support their kids since things are not going to get better at MCPS, and the kids cannot afford to not get an education during the academic year.

If the OP is able to solve her kid's problem in any other creative way or by escalating to MCPS then maybe she can share on this thread? IMHO, it is doubtful that she can move the dial at all, unless she raises a whole lot of stink. Good luck to all of you! [/quote]

It's not sla solution. It's just thinly veiled bragging[/quote]
