He's in his mid-70s and is an educational consultant.

Totally with you. It has been a rapid, ugly decline.

I'm SO, SO happy my youngest is graduating this year.


MCPS is in decline because they have no earthly idea how to serve students of color, which is where all the growth is. They are all talk and no action on equity, which does absolutely nothing but piss off the White parents.


I don't know if I'd buy that. Those kids are already on the ground level in terms of performance. No amount of money bring them up. I guess one good news is they can't go down any lower.


Really? My kids are getting an amazing education. Like they say you can lead a horse to water...


That all depends on parents and students expectations and drive. "Amazing education" could mean anything - from C- to A+ or 850 on a SAT to 1600.

No worries. Mcps does not discriminate like you think. They serve very few well and put very little focus on white kids and failed them too.


Not if you look at outcomes by race. Wealthy POC students do worse than poor White kids. Research shows schools treat POC different than White students. This is the schools' fault.

Horace and Aristotle were already complaining about the younger generation back in their days..

Society has been in decline for millennia at least that's what people have been saying.

It means MCPS wants immediate injections of experience, instead of taking the trouble to find competent but untried people. Maybe they're desperate, maybe they're lazy, maybe it's cronyism.

It seems as though MM has brought back Jerry Weast, as well as other highly paid consultants who worked in the district years ago, rather than hired critical positions in schools and central. Anyone else hearing this?
