And yet they keep sending their kids to MCPS schools, while they themselves do little to affect any change or want to increase taxes to pay for their champagne wishes.
What choice do most of us have? Not everyone is wealthy or living in a "good" school district. The only "affordable" privates are Catholic schools and that's only for elementary. Only a few Catholic schools are remotely welcoming to non-Catholic/non-Christian families. The rest of us cannot afford $50-60K privates, and there are very few privates let alone non-religious ones.
And, the privates don't have the same math track come MS/HS.
Every private I’ve seen has MS/HS math tracks.

The mast majority of MoCo parents are ok with it. Private school parents still live and have nostalgia of the dark ages.
Welcome to the 21st century!
No, many of us are not ok with it. Kids test scores and performance are way down. Funny thing once they took away textbooks and structured teaching things declined.
DCUM is not real world. Majority of REAL MoCo residents (82%) are satisfied with MCPS.
Welcome to the real world.
Most moco residents don’t have kids in mcps.
Wrong.
Over 85% of MoCo residents send their kids to MCPS.
What?! That is completely false. Why are it posting blatant misinformation.
How is that even possible?
You do realize that many MoCo residents don’t even have kids.
Common sense people! Key words: "send their kids". It's obvious it's talking about residents that have kids.
No. That’s not an issue of common sense.
Did you learn how to write from MCPS?
If the PP meant to say 85% of Montgomery County’s ‘families with kids’ send their kids to MCPS’ then that is what she should have written.
Though, that would also be false. Especially post-Covid.

He was responding to a post that specifically said that most moco residents don't have kids and said that was "wrong" and cited the BS 85% statistic as some kind of support.

That makes no sense. There are 1 million MoCo residents and 160,000 MCPS students. Assuming each family has an average of 2 kids, that means there are roughly 80,000 MCPS families.
There’s absolutely no math you could do that results in there being 850,000 MoCo residents that send their kids to MCPS. That would mean the entire population of the county constitutes MCPS parents and kids.
I desperately hope you’re not an educator in any capacity.
My goodness. Common sense and critical thinking skills are not your forte

Neither makes sense. The statement was that MoCo residents are satisfied. Many have adult kids, kids in private or even no kids.

In 2016, about 33% of Montgomery County households had children under 18 living at home.
Right, and about 10% of them educate their kids outside MCPS. So that means roughly 30% of households have MCPS students in them.

I couldn’t find a general survey. I only found the one they did about reopening.

MCAP, at least the English test, is a series of random reading passages about random topics. It doesn't test what students are being taught in class. Why? Every MD district has a different curriculum. So your 3rd grader might have spent his/her year reading a few different novels and then is tested on random reading passages that have nothing to do with what they were taught. Who will do well on tests of general knowledge? Wealthier kids who travel, read outside of school, speak English proficiently, etc. It's not rocket science why students aren't testing at the proficient level.
It would be like you spending a school year reading four novels and then you are tested on reading passages about humpback whales, female inventors in the 20th century, early pioneers, space exploration. You have not studied these topics but you might know something about them if you have the background knowledge. Either the entire state adopts the same curriculum or districts need to give tests based on what students are being taught in that curriculum.
Spending multiple days doing useless tests seems like a problem in itself.
You're complaining that MCPS is complying with state and federal law?
State and federal law require MCPS to administer a test that, according to PP, "doesn't test what students are being taught in class?"
Yes.
https://marylandpublicschools.org/about/Pages/DAAIT/Assessment/index.aspx
Is MCPS prohibited from teaching kids the subjects that they are being tested on?
MCPS is teaching the subjects.
Well that seems to contradict what PP was saying.
