Do others wish we could have a town-based system instead of a county-based system?  I found it so shocking when we moved here.  The one good thing is that it helps to provide kids with a mediocre education.  But DH and I both grew up elsewhere, and it was nice to have a town-based system where you could know your school board and really get involved.  We wish that we could live in a town with a mayor, rather than a county executive.  MCPS has something like 26 high schools.  If you're used to a massive district, I guess you think it's fine.  But if you've seen a town-based system, you may agree it's much better for parents and students.[/quote]

No, I don't. Public education in a county-based system is already inequitable enough. I can't imagine the inequity if there were Bethesda Public Schools, Olney Public Schools, Gaithersburg Public Schools, etc.

If you want to really get involved, then get involved. Plenty of people do get involved. And you don't have to get involved in all 25 high schools. Get involved in your kid's high school, just like you would if there were only one high school in the district.[/quote]
