Now search for the survey done after the pandemic |
Well that seems to contradict what PP was saying. |
I couldn’t find a general survey. I only found the one they did about reopening. |
In 2016, about 33% of Montgomery County households had children under 18 living at home. |
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. |
Right, and about 10% of them educate their kids outside MCPS. So that means roughly 30% of households have MCPS students in them. |
Neither makes sense. The statement was that MoCo residents are satisfied. Many have adult kids, kids in private or even no kids. |
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. |
My goodness. Common sense and critical thinking skills are not your forte |
Common sense people! Key words: "send their kids". It's obvious it's talking about residents that have kids. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
