This is the DUMBEST argument I have ever heard of. Seriously. Do you think families have time to watch BOE meetings online to learn about the shitty schools that their kids do not attend? Sorry but not all of us are privileged to have that time. And why are you blaming families who are concerned about the shitty schools?  For YEARS students and staff at the shitty schools have been complaining about their schools, their resources, their facilities to guess who.... Guess who ignored them? Guess who decided to put up astroturf on football fields instead of fixing falling ceiling tiles and rats at Southlake. LEt me give you a hint- it's not the people you complain about.[/quote]

Obviously you're allowed to advocate only for your own kids, and never mind about all the other kids, if that's what you want to do. But don't be surprised if other people don't rush to take your side.[/quote]

Let me help you expand your narrowed focus on this. MCPS has been ignoring the schools for YEARS. Okay? YEARS. While you cannot expect busy families to be aware of what's happening outside of their schools, there are certainly people who have been advocating to fix broken and underperforming schools within their cluster for years. Schools like Neelsville and Southlake.  I know a teacher at Southlake who said the reality is MCPS does not want to invest in schools that are poor and high minority. That's the bottom line. I know that's hard for some of you to believe but that's the truth. Actions speak louder than words.[/quote]

Good for the people advocating for capital improvements to Neelsville (and South Lake).

Meanwhile, here's the MCPS CIP: $1.818 billion, and even that really isn't enough. Which projects would you move up? Which projects would you delay? And if you could reduce capital spending needs by using boundary changes to reduce overcrowding, why the heck wouldn't you do it?[/quote]
