[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, why would you advocate against your own interests? If MCPS lost federal funding do you know how much harder it would be to catch these people? LOsing millions would Result in MCPS being cash strapped, less funding for Special Magnet and Gifted programs, less funding for special education programs. [/b][/quote]

I agree with OP.  You can also say if federal doesn't step in, what incentive does MCPS have to fix their terrible track record.  I bet it wasn't one of your kids who was abused.  So no big deal, right?

How about we get rid of all the gifted programs and the expensive bus program to get them all around this traffic-filled county, until ALL the kids are safe.

I would 100% agree with cut funding.  [/quote]

I did not know that B. DeVos also posts here.

Very well...in the same vein...Also cut FARMS, ESOL, Special ED programs - unless ALL kids are safe.

We should also remove any free meals that the schools are providing - unless ALL kids are safe.

Remove all the police resource officers in the school - unless ALL kids are safe.

Remove IB and AP education - unless ALL kids are safe.

Finally, we should also remove Outdoor Ed in 6th grade and cancel all field trips - unless ALL kids are safe.

I absolutely would 100% agree with funding cuts. [/quote]

It is illegal to cut out ESOL and special ED. 
FARMS is a different set of funding
Police resource officers keep the schools safe

but yes, I agree with the rest.  Cut out field trips, the overnight trips for sure, and all IB and AP.   Luxuries that aren't needed to educate kids.  Use that money to get a better system in place to hire people that won't touch the kids of the county.

Ha ha. These programs are only luxuries if you have very low achieving students. I am sorry but most children I know do well with field trips,  special programs, accelerated curriculum of AP and IB.   So I think what you call luxuries in not that at all.

I am however all for removing all bussing and all food in school.  Transportation and meals have nothing to do with education. Parents can pack lunch and drive their kids to school.  These are true luxuries.  Maybe if we remove busing then people will stick to their neighborhood schools. How about that?[/quote]
