[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with others that holding up DCPS as a model is crazy.

Yes, Janney, Deal and Wilson have become good schools in the last 20 years but at what cost to the rest of the system.  The disparity between the haves and have nots is growing.  Look at the scores sometime.  And that is BEFORE Parc Testing.  And the difference between the resources at any given Ward 7 or 8 school compared to Ward 1 schools is shocking.  Not long ago we took a few students from a Ward 8 school to a Ward 1 school for an event - on the way back they were discussing how nice the school was and one young man said, "I want live with the white people."  I wanted to cry.[/quote]

That is a very sad story.  Thanks for sharing.  Perhaps if MCPS parents are allows to donate to an aide in the classroom, more parents would stay in MCPS and would lobby for more funding and be more engaged generally in the overall administration of education in MCPS.  As I see it now, lots of parents who would be great advocates for the system decide to just go the private route.[/quote]

I think you just missed the whole point of the previous PP's post.[/quote]
