[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't MCPS already get like 60% of all tax revenue? Time and time again it has been shown that dumping more money into schools doesn't provide better outcomes. Japanese, Chinese Singaporean, and Swedish students run laps around American students, and they spend far less mony per pupil. Baltimore spends near the most money per pupil and they have like 3% math proficiency rate in many schools.Taxing people out of their homes and using schools and education as an excuse is a terrible idea. Teach better and force parents to parent better. No amount of money can make people be better parents. There are just a lot of lowlifes in MoCo that drag down the whole system, so I don't know why people think money will fix it.[/quote] They don’t want to fix it. The money is spent to invite more lowlifes in and provide for them. This is how they keep their voting base growing and grease crony palms which provide healthy kickbacks to them. Within 20 years Moco will be a crime ridden cesspool no different than Baltimore, Alexandria; or DC and people will still vote for the same corrupt and incompetent politicians. And they’ll keep blaming Trump or whoever the media tells them is their new bogeyman.[/quote] It's interesting that, ten years ago, it was common to read posts on DCUM saying "Within 10 years, MoCo will be a crime ridden cesspool no different from Prince George's County!" whereas now the posts say "Within 10 years, MoCo will be a crime ridden cesspool no different from Baltimore!"
