[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]RGMS parents revealed just how privileged and self serving they are. Don't worry, the rest of the county has taken note.[/quote]

I think that you could say this about a lot of the specialty programs.  I get the sense that the current admin and the Board don't have a whole lot of empathy for them. 
The county isn't required to offer these programs (except TAG, but that can be offered at regular schools).  They are a privilege, not a right and they take a lot of resources away from neighborhood schools.  I personally think that the county should only provide bus transportation for the FARMS/SPED kids that attend non-neighborhood schools.

From the DC-ist article [i]"Catarina Correia, president of Hyattsville’s parent-teacher organization, posted a statement on Goddard’s parent-teacher organization Facebook page citing research from Penn State University which says that Prince George’s County Schools’ specialty programs, like Goddard’s, “have successfully advocated for their programs against the detriment of neighborhood schools that often lack the same well connected, economically advantaged, and vocal parents.”

“I understand why you were upset, but I truly believe that as your children have been at [the Goddard] school for so long, you are woefully unaware of what other PG County public schools deal with on a daily basis and how truly lucky you and your children have been,” Correia wrote to Goddard parents. “I hope we can work together to make the [county school system] work as best it can for ALL our students.”[/i]
