As I'm sure you're aware, "Silver Spring" is actually a pretty large geographic area and the schools are not all the same.  I used to substitute teach and while I would be fine sending my kids to most schools in SS (and they do), some of the schools have some pretty significant challenges.  You do have to pay attention.[/quote]

I actually agree with you that many schools in SS have significant challenges, but my understanding is that these are behavior challenges among some children that unfortunately impact the rest of the class. Not a lack of intelligence overall.[/quote]

Oh good grief.  Are you suggesting that schools in western Montgomery county don't have children with "behavior challenges"?  Give me a break![/quote]

Of course they do. I didn't say anything about schools in western Montgomery County. We can't afford to live there so I haven't researched those schools. [b]My comment comes from my research[/b] I have done talking to MCPS employees and reviewing survey results showing certain ESs have behavior issues leading to significant safety concerns among staff.[/quote]

Could you please provide the results of your research?[/quote]

No, it's not published research, sorry, and was specific to certain neighborhoods we were looking at.

You can start with the MCPS school climate surveys if you want.[/quote]

No you can not. Those surveys are old and not relevant. MCPS is too scared to continue them.[/quote]

Look again[/quote]

Thanks- where?[/quote]

This is infuriating! I work at a SS elementary school and I was not offered the opportunity to fill out this survey. Of course the school has mostly positive results. I’m sure that my principal hand selected who filled it out. Please don’t take this seriously.[/quote]

Were you also excluded from the state educator survey that feeds into the MD school report card?[/quote]
