This makes me furious. These are PUBLIC schools! My elementary, middle, and high schools in MCPS don't have access to these resources. I mean, I knew the deck was stacked against us, but not by this much.

We are also hardworking. We are also taxpayers. But our families don't come from money, so we can't afford to buy into these districts that are dominated by $1million+ SFHs.

The extent of which the wealthy think they 100% deserve what they have makes me furious. They only see that they're giving their children the best-- not that in by doing so they're depriving other children of opportunities.

What happened to our sense of community? Everyone is just out for what they can grab for themselves.[/quote]

There is a sense of community.  If you join a community be moving there you have an interest in all children getting what is needed.  That is a very different question from doing all you can to make sure things work well for your children.  That is an obligation on you.  If you can do more for your child you do it.  No one is saying do less for others but the rich kid and the poor kid have different experiences.  Just the way it will always be.  What you should want is that the government give an education to the poor kid so that the poor kid can be rich.  We are not doing that.  It has little to do with the PTA and more to do with not knowing how to teach kids.  We need to spend lots more money because frankly education has become a national security issue.  So I would support a massive amount of new spending that would make build back better supporter blush.  But this has nothing to do with the PTA. [/quote]
