[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's almost like they are reflecting that [b]the majority of people approve[/b], don't care or are indifferent and only a small minority are up in arms. It should be noted that if MCPS declared a day (oxygen appreciation day) there would be random petitions with hundreds of signatures to strike it down or give equal recognition to nitrogen. Some people are salty isn't news [/quote]

Oh, really? Prove it.[/quote]

How many people are currently enrolled in a county-wide criteria based program vs. just general student body? 10%? 20%? I'm guessing a large percentage of the parents in MCPS don't really care because their kids were never getting into one of the county-wide criteria programs. Similarly, many of the current BoE members ran on expanding the programs and making them more accessible.

That's not to say I don't have grave concerns over the current implementation plans (they're trying too big with too little resources), but I think it's hard for a lot of people to care about something they don't think affects them.[/quote]

That doesn't mean a majority of people approve - just that they aren't paying attention or don't care. [/quote]
