[quote=Anonymous][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]

You're basically saying: if the public school system were a private school system.

If you think that education should be the private responsibility of individual parents -- well, that's not how it works in this country, but you can probably find other countries where it does work that way.[/quote]

There are ways to make schools more accountable.  One way is to give parents school choice...vouchers.  You, as the parent, get the money from the government and YOU choose which school you want to attend.  Schools will work to be more competitive in order to get the parents to choose them.  Right now the way it works, there is no incentive for excellence.  We must do away with pubic education all together.[/quote]
