[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you take your child out of MCPS if there was a private school voucher program so Montgomery County residents had school choice?[/quote]

Sure, if you want to ruin any chance of an average family getting their kids a great education. [/quote]
yeah, giving families MORE choice really ruins that :roll: [/quote]

I've lived in areas with school choice. There is a lot less choice involved than you seem to think. Especially for SN kids. My friends here in the DMV who exercised school choice with charters, then moving on to small private schools, etc?

All of their school "choices" ended up wrong. Wrong fit, or counseled out. So their kids ended up going to multiple schools, which made a lot of the issues worse. [/quote]

One is now homeschooled, and another is at Fusion, which as I understand is like homeschooling for 45k.

We stuck with Moco for our 2e kid and they're thriving in IB. [/quote]

MCPS will pay for a private for SN kids if they cannot meet the child's needs (and you sue them) but its those middle kids where parents don't feel MCPS is meeting the kids needs and want private.  But, there are only a few schools for the SN kids and fusion isn't a real school and is more of a tutoring program.  We had to pay for private for a few years as MCPS didn't meet our child's needs.

You have school choice.  You just have to pay for it.  Publics outside of SN should not have to pay for school choice.  However, they are responsible for keeping kids safe and providing an education.

MCPS also offers virtual now.[/quote]
