[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With more than 160,000 students I imagine MCPS has a WHOLE LOT MORE on its plate than this. Using the oft repeated "99%" standard it sounds like this ENDLESS debate is about MAYBE 1600 of students? Less than half of 1% of the students MCPS works with?

One of these mornings or afternoons go and watch a county school bus load and unload a dozen SEVERELY SEVERELY SEVERELY handicapped children in wheelchairs.  
Watch the county feed kids that don't get enoughto eat at home. 
Watch them graduate kids whose parents are in jail or dead and manage to get some of them into college

Then drive home and

Hug your child because you can
Feed your child another healthy meal
Kick or throw a ball around with them because they can control their limbs

And hopefully... Hopefully... HOPEFULLY.... experience a moment of peace because you are blessed[/quote]

Ok. so you will ingnore the needs of 1600 kids just because you have more kids in the school system? If you are tired, perhaps, time for you to step away from the thread. your intention to discourage others from discussing this important topic, which by the way will have significant impact on future generations to come, is very apparent.[/quote]

[b]ISn't MCPS BOE suppose to make decisions to meet the needs of all students?[/b] So are they making decisions based on the number of students? What happened to no child left behind? You seems to don't care.[/quote]
They are but since they will never be able to please everybody, they are at least making decisions that will meet the needs of the many[/quote]
