[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll add that in FCPS alone, almost 20% of the budget is spent on Special Education, and of that most of it isn’t spent on kids like your child. [b]We pool resources to care for the neediest kids[/b]. Charter schools take away from that. "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR[/quote] We don’t pool those resources enough.[b] I’d like all the FARMs kids to go to their own school[/b] that can provide wrap-around services (including after school childcare & housing nearby), and the special education kids to also go to their own school. Bright middle class kids are mostly ignored in traditional public schools. [/quote] This is segregation by another name. :roll:[/quote] Dcum is always okay with tracking kids or warehousung kids as long as it's their kids who are not impacted [/quote]
