[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the MCPS were a private organization competing in the marketplace against the much better private schools in the area, you better bet the teachers would not have gotten the 6% increase, and the class sizes would be much smaller.  This is why government run school system is failing...it is a monopoly with no accountability.[/quote]

But it isn't a private organization.  If it were a private organization where would the money come from?  Oh, parents.  Well, most parents can't afford private school. That's why the government saw fit to create public schools.

Private schools don't fail because most of the kids there are from wealthy families who can provide enrichment, food, shelter and relative safety in the homes, so the kids do well in school.   Some of the kids in public schools don't have that.  Such kids usually do very poorly in school. And with more and more budget cuts, these kids get even less individualized attention, unlike the more expensive private schools.
