[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]We pay a lot in taxes in Montgomery County. Half of our County budget goes to MCPS. Unions demand high wages.[/quote] So what? Teachers report to the principals. Principals report to area superintendents. The superintendent reports to the BOE. The BOE knows that no one bothers to pay attention who to vote for in local elections so they only need to keep the union happy. Its a circle of no accountability with no one really steering the ship and the status quo being always maintained. [b] I support the theory of public education but I'm beginning to accept that it can't work in practice because their is no direct accountability for performance or outcomes. The taxpayers have virtually no say in how MCPS is run and it shows in the hubris that MCPS displays.[/b] [/quote] This is the same conclusion I have come to. We can't afford private, so we just have to work with what MCPS does.[/quote]
