[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hogan's favorite hobby is cutting education funding. He also aligns closely with Betsy DeVos on vouchers, tax credits, and charter schools. He makes it very clear that public education is not a priority in Maryland.[/quote]

If the biggest Democrats in Montgomery County trusted their own education system before Gov. Hogan took office, why are their kids in private schools?[/quote]

Who are the "biggest Democrats in Montgomery County" who have school-aged kids, and how do you know which schools their kids go to?[/quote]
I am not sure that their charge makes any sense. I think all council members I am aware of with school aged kids send them to public. There might be a state delegate or two in with kids in private, I don't know. But the claim is on its face a bit ridiculous and seemingly without merit.

On the other hand, as an MCPS parent, I am seriously thinking about going private just because the overcrowding issue is driving me nuts. They have presented no real solutions except to megasize every school until some high schools are even larger than a good chunk of liberal arts colleges. And then they just keep approving more and more development, without ensuring for new schools, parks, rec centers, etc. Its not an educational quality issue (except some behavioral things bug me) but just a crowding issue. But nearly every parent I talk to is highly satisfied.[/quote]
