[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What pg county doesn't need is a bunch of scattered charter schools like DC. Most of those school test scores are below average and parents move to one part of the city to try to get their kids into 3 or 4 good schools. Improve upon the existing schools in pg first by creating programs and implementing them in the local neighborhood school. Also focus on business revenue not just taxes based upon housing. That way of thinking needs to die. Pg school system has improved drastically over the last 15 years. They have a done a good job with little funds[/quote]

This poster summed it up pretty well. I am curious as to what, exactly, people would like to see happen in traditional publics in PG that would make them consider the school a good fit. Full disclosure, my child went to our neighborhood public and is now in a middle school specialty program. I'll start:

I would like to see class sizes reduced. 
I would like to see parent liaison positions filled.
I would like to see schools not have to pick between art or music, gym or art, cramming everything into a very intense day, etc. This one is a bigger problem than PG.

That's the start of my list. [/quote]
