[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that school choice, whether vouchers or more likely charters, is an inevitability at this point. A matter of when not if. It will be the legacy of Brenda Wolff’s leadership as President of the BOE.[/quote]

Nah.  The reality is that even those of us who support public education, and, perhaps especially those of us who support public education, will want more accountability and perhaps a whole different set of services in return for our tax dollars.  Nothing is “inevitable “, and you seem to be misreading the priorities of most county residents — perhaps deliberately.

Two charter proposals came before the BOE already this year and the BOE voted both down. One of the proposals was well funded with a million dollar state grant. It should be noted that these charter proposals were sponsored and lead by Black groups. The proposals will keep coming and if the discontent with MCPS continues grow, they will be inevitable

If people cared about public education and believe that school choice will undermine it, they just understand that the only way to protect public education is to take action now to bring MCPS back from the brink.

There is a lot slack available for further deterioration of educational quality. The self-correction needs to happen now. [/quote]
