[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why everything has to be about FARMS schools? Children in other schools also need to be properly educated. My kid is in math class with 33 other students. Yes, I am all for decreasing the number of students at our school even if other schools will have to bump up a bit. I am not in a high FARMS rate school but it doesn't mean I can send my child to a private institution. [/quote]

Lower income students cost more to education..that's why the state gives MCPS funding based on the number of FARMS students. But MCPS is taking that money and using it to increase resources for wealthy students. You may be okay with that (you care exclusively about your kid and kids similar to your kid) but that doesn't make it okay.[/quote]

Yes,I care about my children first and foremost.
33 students in our school vs 18 in *poor* schools seem to much of a difference. That's almost doubled the classroom. [/quote]

18 is the minimum and you are comparing it to the largest class at your school. Gmafb. And to justify taking money meant for poor kids to use for wealthy kids. Disgusting, but not surprising.[/quote]

You do realize that most people fall somewhere between poor and wealthy. The rich and wealthy you  describe are probably not even in public schools.

Are you equating families that live in $2-3 million homes with families that receive FARMS? [/quote]
