[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You dont think new schools would come up with a $20k price tag to fill in the place in the market between $0 and $50k for Potomac?  Of course they would especially if they new every parent had a $20k spending power.

Sure, but the [b]vouchers would not be for $20k [/b]and the [b]schools would still not accept kids needing special support[/b], [b]leaving the high cost students in FCPS with fewer resources and still draining resources[/b]. I suppose it might cause parents with those kids to then move to MD, which would be a benefit for my taxes? Pretty shitty what you are proposing. I’m not a liberal, but I’ve watched enough documentaries/read enough about charters to know that I dont want them in Fairfax. I also know that [b]when you put someone in power who thinks data is the solution, you go further down the NCLB testing rabbit hole[/b], which is the opposite of what I want for my kids and for myself (as a teacher). Everyone on here complains about the lack of grammar and writing instruction. These things are no longer taught because they are not heavily tested on the SOL (even less now that the writing sol is a local performance assessment). Pre-NCLB, they were taught. [b]We need a DOE that focuses on retaining high quality teachers through compensation and developing a curriculum that is rigorous (with support for teachers to teach the curriculum)[/b]. None of that will happen with someone who just wants more data (the burden of collection falls on teachers and takes away from instruction). [/quote]

Excellent points.
