[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whitman is funding a huge portion on MCPS while they suffer with some of the highest student to teacher ratios in the county.  Of course they're going to advocate for smaller class sizes.  It would be insane if them not to.[/quote]

The issue isn't them advocating for smaller class sizes for themselves.  It's them endorsing the Superintendent's proposal to increase class sizes for poor schools in order to fund the smaller class sizes for Whitman cluster and others.  [/quote]The $ has to come from somewhere.  It's insane that east county schools get millions more per year than the schools attended by kids whose families pay most of the taxes.[/quote]

So the high density areas of the county pay less than the McMansions, each on multiple acres. Got it.[/quote]

If you have multiple acres, you pay based off that and a Mansion.  If they divided up the lots and smaller houses it would be equal.  If you can put 4 houses on an Acre vs. one, yes the one should pay the same amount as those four families.  However, many people without kids, kids not school aged and people whose kids graduated HS all also pay taxes.  You act like you are the only one paying.  You really think you should pay the same for a 6000-100000 square foot house as someone with 1000-2000 on a 1/4 acre?  [/quote]
