[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be clear about the income guidelines here. According to the MCPS website, a family of 4 qualifies for FARMS if their income is below $41,000 per year. As a comparison, the median family income in the United States according to Wikipedia is $45,000 per year. So the children getting FARMS in this area are not necessarily abjectly poor.[/quote] Wow. I can tell you've never had to try to raise your kids on 41K a year ....... We have three in our family and make about this much, and I can tell you, if we didn't have outside help, there are days we wouldn't eat. [/quote]
