[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of suggestions about 2 hour bus commutes a day, razing neighborhoods inside the Beltway in order to build subsidized middle class housing, forcing school integration by income, and attacking educated white collar families, how about focusing on something easier, more likely to happen and that can have a real impact: IMPROVING YOUR OWN SCHOOL.  Get involved.  Work from within.  Complain and report class disruptions.  Sit in on your kids’ class.  Demand accountability from your teacher and principal.  Know where your tax dollars are going.  Get to know other parents.  Raise your expectations.  Demand tracking for high performers.   Be noisy at the school, not on DCUM.  Look how noisy Casa de Maryland is for all the Hispanics, legal or illegal. Get going!!!

Seriously, if you pay federal, Maryland state and MoCo county income tax, property tax, gas tax, sales tax then YOU fund the MCPS, state and county budget.  Demand a well-functioning neighborhood school.

Because I have a job and doing this would take all of my spare time and then some.   Much easier to move and pay taxes that get me a school that doesn't need me to rebuild it from the ground up.  MCPS is generally resistant to any change that it does not self-initiate and I don't have the energy to fight those kinds of battles.[/quote]
