Yeah but PP speaks truth.
Ok, private school recruiter you are starting early this admission cycle?!
Most privates have waitlists lol
So why do y'all spend so much time trolling here?
DP. It's true. Since the school closures, private school enrollment has shot way up.
But why do y'all spend so much time trolling here?
The OP posts this same stuff every couple of weeks. It's nothing new. Often they discuss their love for Howard County where the demographics are similar to MCPS 30 years ago. This is just a troll thread.

To be fair MCPS is pretty good at daycare as well. Only a handful of kids get injured every day but it is a very large system.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:Anonymous wrote:I am from Texas and also lived in Illinois.

It goes to show that it is what people make of it, but sadly many refuse to take any personal responsibility for anything these days and prefer to blame others for their own problems.
Two words for you: Curriculum 2.0
Does a school system have the responsibility to select appropriate instruction materials? Or should a school district ignore a failed curriculum for a decade?
This is your MCPS. I would not entrust this school district to educate anyone. They seem to excel as a location for free food distribution. That’s about it.

I'm an mcps employee and many of our schools/leadership are being run in chaotic environments. I'm not surprised that poolsville, in a remote locale, with a high ses population, and magnet program is an exceptipn. I'm also a parent and see my kids getting a low quality education in "good schools." I'm doing the best i can to supplement outside of school.

I had both perpetrator and victim of violence in my classroom and i had the audacity to try to get control of the class for the education of students. This i thought was my job as a teacher but when you go against whatever coverup is going on it makes you as a teacher the new target.

Why did you get fired?

Meh. The PP is wrong. The MCPS motto is 'Equity Not Excellence'.
They don't have equity either.

Poolesville HS is the number one-ranked high school in MCPS. Of course you're not seeing problems with MCPS.

Anonymous wrote:Let's be even more clear. School has ALWAYS been this way. A student with or without support can always achieve more. They can write a better paper, they can produce neater work and they can push themselves harder. College admissions for generations have looked beyond grades to holistic health of the mind and body, involvement in the community, commitment to bettering themselves outside of the scope of what is asked as a baseline. It has ALWAYS been this way. Now, we're to believe that we're tricked by the meaning of grades, as kids at your school work to pad their resumes with piano, boy scouts, sports, language studies and on? As they take coding classes to differentiate themselves further from their cohorts? Parents of straight A kids were tricked? Really?
Nah.
I'm a kid of immigrant whose parents really couldn't help me in school. I got a FANTASTIC public education in another state from K-12 with very little support at home. Schools taught me grammar and writing and solid math skills that served me well in college.
That is NOT happening here in MCPS. Kids get straight As for sub-par work regularly.
