So if a challenging kindergarten curriculum for your kindergarten kid assumes kids have been reading for at least a year means that my kid, who does not know his letters, must struggle and not learn? My kid needs the opportunity to learn at the appropriate level just as the high performers do.
both these kids in your example should be taught at their own level in their home school.

Is it any wonder why teachers are leaving MCPS in record numbers?

6) it’s unethical to withhold parental access to educational records.

Yep. MCPS is pretty unethical in how it treats students with disabilities.



It's hard to implement them with the 300% increase in IEP/504s in the last few years at UMC schools.


When a school does not implement a 504 plan or an IEP after a school team writes the document that is discrimination. MCPS has a legal responsibility to implement the 504 Plans and IEPs.

Woo hoo better yet vote in a Youngkin and Privatize MD schools so public schools can die.


That would make the CATO posters happy. They hate public funds going to ordinary people and would prefer the every man and woman for themselves approach.

^ but does a better job than MOST public school systems in the nation. It's just disappointing when the best system can't quite get it together...

Does MCPS treat staff, parents, and students fairly and ethically?
