[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are incorrect! Haycock neighbors are not subsidizing the educational system in the rest of the county. The as you move away from that area, homes may be cheaper per area, but the are bigger and cost the same or more, so the tax dollars are the same. Moreso, in areas with less affluent demographics, the parents with more money send their kids to private schools, and double paying for their children's education.

Mire specialized teachers cost more, thus they are costing the county more. Don't be too full of yourself with your property vales! Chesterbrook, Kent Gardens and Franklin Sherman alone have higher lot/property values than Haycock. There are many other neighborhoods with average property values way higher than Haycock.

You want all to be equal, but you like being more equal than others. [/quote]

Chesterbrook and FS use the AAP at Haycock. [/quote]

They do not use the aap at haycock. The AAP is not for haycock alone, but for all 4 schools. It just happens to be located at Haycock, because you have to locate it somewhere.

The point is that the Haycock tax dollars are not covering for the education of other children in the county, but only for their own, and probably some of the county is covering for Haycock, because property values are higher in total in other areas of the county, and a disproportionate percentage of parents take their kids to private schools from FARM areas, thus allowing for more of their tax dollars to go to experiments such as Haycock. I would like to see similar programs throughout the county, be those the Haycock programs or not, but there is no reason why these programs should be so specific to Haycock.

Why don't you fight for these programs to be implemented throughout the county? Because you know it is not financially feasible, and the county can't pay for them everywhere.

This is incorrect. In FFX , Haycock and Wolftrap get the lowest amount of $ per child. The highest amount goes to the Title 1 schools. There is no extra cost to this program. The children are grouped by abilities. There is zero incremental cost. You can also request this method to be done at your children's elementary school. This program works at Haycock because there is a need for advanced math.  [/quote]

Title I schools receive Federal funds, not property tax funds. With Federal funds, one loses autonomy. There is a need for advanced math all across America, but it seems that in other schools, kids are not allowed to go more than 1 grade above grade level. in other schools you CAN'T even get advanced math in K-2, even if you want to. It is NOT offered.

I accept that maybe there are more advance kids in math at Haycock than at other individual schools, but so what? There are many more throughout the county who at not served, and all together there are more advanced kids throughout the county than at Haycock alone.[/quote]

This is such a sour grapes approach. So because you can't implement something like this at your school, it must be taken away from Haycock? [/quote]

Absolutely not! I am happy that some kids get to learn math, but not at the expense of other kids who aren't provided that same opportunity. Its actually the opposite, I'm saying that not only your kids need the sweet, juicy grapes, but all kids do. There is no reason do despair. If you think the rest of the county is doing well, you'll be doing well too.
