[quote=Anonymous]If you want to know why class sizes are so large check out the article about MCPS in the Metro section of the Post today. The school system is getting reamed by the county council for not spending enough money closing the achievement gap. As Larry Bowers is quoted saying, the only way to do that is to continue to take more money away from "low poverty" schools. Well, my low poverty school has definitely seen it's money go elsewhere. My kids classes in high school are huge with upwards of 39 kids in a Spanish or math class. The teachers are having difficulty being effective teachers with such large classes and my kids have insisted they need tutors because they can't learn in such large classes. If the county council thinks we are going to stick around and pay higher property taxes for less services they are wrong. Those supporting the lower end of the economic spectrum in MCPS are going to be leaving in droves. Then who will pay for it?[/quote]
