[b]But just to be clear, you're perfectly OK with giving poor people better versions of public goods than rich people. [/b]My kids' school gets less money per pupil than a school run by the same public system where the average income is lower.

I've only posted on this thread 2x and I don't actually support the idea of parent fundraising for extra teachers or aides. But don't justify opposition to the idea on the basis of equity. MCPS is already a totally inequitable system that is trying (and failing) to redress the increasing inequity in society. [/quote]

Oh, are Title I schools and Focus schools better than the schools in Bethesda, Potomac, and Chevy Chase? I didn't know that.[/quote]

No, the school environment is not better in Title 1 and Focus schools, nor did I ever say that. But those schools receive more in resources for the same service and the same curriculum. So it is, by definition, not an equitable assignment of resources.

BTW, to the PP, who must be posting 2x a minute on this thread, you have a real affinity for using straw men to try to discredit the arguments of others. It suffers through overuse, however.[/quote]
