Your child has told you they don’t. You have to do something. Stop supporting these bloated, failing organizations. Public schools like MCPS don’t work in an overly diverse community. Pull your kid. You are the only one who is at fault here with this knowledge at this point. My hope is if enough middle class folks pull the system will implode. Only way to get change at this point. Then vote for backpack funding - money follows kid, not corrupt bureaucrats. COVID proved public schools as they are currently structured (offering jobs to lower class) are worth very little to society.

Helluva thing to say when there at 6 dead at a religious private school today.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. We have seen this in plenty of other urban, diverse school districts.

Taxpayers just continue to throw money at the schools, which never seem to improve. Remember how Zuckerberg gave something like $100 million to Newark public schools, but it didn’t make a bit of difference in outcomes.

There is simply no oversight in MCPS. Politicians in MoCo will just continue to raise taxes and funnel more money into a dysfunctional, corrupt school system.

El Rich's 10% tax hike will likely be used to create even more central office positions and studies for things that will never amount to anything... Maybe even solar powered buses...
