You mean it is false to say they are all getting a world class #1 best ever education. Got it.

No, that's not what I said or meant. The options are not "all world class" or "all equally crappy". JFC some of you are really dumb as rocks.

The data shows MCPS is equally crappy. Rankings don't lie.

That's not what the data shows.

Actually, it very much does.

I was looking up my kid’s high school and it is appalling the number of kids who are not ‘proficient’.

MCPS is failing all our students, unfortunately. Any kid who does do well is likely getting some sort of outside help.

Weird at our high school a third of the kids have a 4.0 I don't know what you're talking about. Is this one of those posts from the alternate reality or just using alternate facts?

LOL

A 4.0 in MCPS is meaningless at this point. Kids who basically do the work can get a 4.0. It is NOT an indication of the student being ‘well-educated’.

Folks keep saying that, yet there is no evidence to prove this is true. In fact 4.0 students continue to talk a well rounded courses of classes, and go on to top colleges and to having meaningful careers.

Weird my 4.0 student has a 5's on a dozen AP tests, 1600 SATs, and was admitted to multiple Ivies. Who knew they were uneducated?

And yet it does.

MCPS has changed since the golden age when Weast was super but that is largely due to external factors and one can still get a first-rate public education if they care about that sort of thing.

I think a lot of us are disputing this. The assignments themselves have changed, the delivery techniques have changed, the grading scales have changed, the expectations for homework have changed, etc. So there can be racial disparities, but the entire level of achievement can also shift downward. This is also true nationally, with the rigor of AP exams, SAT scoring, etc.

As you noted, lots of things have changed but that doesn’t mean kids are getting less education. They could be learning more or different things that are equally important.

Yes, a lot has changed, but I also feel that my kids today are getting a better education than I did at a W 30 years ago. In fact, I graduated at the top of my class but these kids today are lightyears ahead of me.

They get to try college and start right out with remediation for math and English! What an improvement.

That's odd. Mild is scored 1580 on their SAT and 36 on the ACT. They took 12 APs and have fives on eight of those. I think they'll be fine.

SAT scores are also at an all time I high . I think most kids score something like 1400+ today.

Really? Wow!

THe average entrant into UMDCP is something like 1440. Kids today are going great. It's just not everyone is focused on academics. I'm personally fine with that.

1380. Close.
