[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is far from perfect, but as the recipient of much of their money, in the form of special needs educational support for my oldest child, I understand that their many special programs (Autism, Asperger's, GT/LD, magnets, etc) are expensive. And yet they are what makes MCPS great - it's one of the few school systems in the world that tries to support ALL students, not just the ones in the range of normal. So I applaud some of the principles and values behind the spending.[/quote]

All means just you? MCPS actively fights parents is special needs children as evidenced by the millions they spend on lawyers to fight them. That is the principle you applaud.[/quote]

Exactly this.  They get the help that others of us don't.  We've spent everything we have for many years to get our child what they need as MCPS refused.  We either had to pay for an attorney or private services so we choose private services as MCPS was clear they wouldn't help.  They don't support ALL students.  They support a select few.  Get out of your bubble.  Not all of us are high income and it sucks never taking a vacation, never doing much of anything as our child cannot get much of anything and there is a clear need.[/quote]
