[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why private school exists. It’s free. You get what you pay for, especially if you’re a renter. [/quote] Not all public districts have such large class sizes! MCPS decides how large to make classes. It could cap the class sizes to be smaller.[/quote] LOL!!!!! MCPS could also decide to give every parent a free mortgage payment on their house. Smaller class sizes cost MONEY. If they don’t have the space or the money to pay teachers, they can’t cap sh1t. If you are rolling around with all this cash, go private or move. Otherwise be appreciative your kid has an option at all. [/quote] ?? Your post makes zero sense. Be appreciative that my kid has what option? We can’t afford private. My kid has no other options. Most middle class families in this area aren’t rolling around in ‘all this cash’.[/quote] You could afford private but you probably bought a house for $800k+ and are screaming poverty. We are not high income and bought the cheapest house we could find (under $400K) and could afford a small private for a few years till our child aged out. It was about $12K a year which is the same as day care. Catholics are about that price too. Or you move to an area with focus schools and they have slightly smaller classes. We've had 18-26 in the older grades.[/quote] Wow. Lots of incorrect and obnoxious assumptions. You obviously have a chip on your shoulder. Do you know anything about the Greenwood area? There are townhomes for under $400K. And SFHs for under $550K. That’s why the demographics have been changing because it’s a way for recent residents to purchase a home for less than in other areas and live with another family to save cash. We certainly don’t live in a $800K home. And my SIL has kids at a Focus school. It’s no better. Her DD has 27 kids in her 4th grade class last year. [/quote]
