[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just clicked on the link.  Thanks for posting.  Most people make really good points.  Unfortunately, our BOE and MCPS leadership don’t care.

Smaller class sizes and better discipline sounds like common requests that I think, everyone could get behind.  Why can’t MCPS start there?[/quote]

Except that costs money and a tax hike needed to pay for this will mostly go to create more central office jobs.

The bottom line is MCPS is about the same or even better than years past, [b]the demographics of the county are what has changed[/b]. That has an impact on standardized test scores but doesn't mean you can't get a great education. People just need to accept and adapt instead of focusing on a past that never really existed.[/quote]

True.  The demographics of Montgomery County have greatly changed over the past decade and that has had an influence on MCPS.

But that will continue to be the case.  And the school system faces many challenges as a direct result of these changing demographics.  Doesn’t look promising for MCPS.  [/quote]

School choice coming to VA, hopefully MCPS families are not that stupid.

Vouchers for religious schools are a scam to redirect public tax money into churches that pay no taxes.

They are double-dipping on their tax exempt status.

MCPS is a large school system it has tons of needs nothing is perfect. Parents need to be involved. If you don't feel your kid is getting a good education in MCPS then go back to school. Because every kid I know that has graduated has been successful in college in the sense the reason students fall out have nothing to do with what they did not learn at MCPS.

This thread is full of idiots.
