[quote=Anonymous]I support paying taxes. I support allocating non-traditional educational resources such as food, healthcare etc within schools with higher poverty to address the problem. I support giving more resources to schools with poverty for smaller classes, special programs, more ESL etc.

However, there is a balance and Montgomery County needs to provide a good educational program for ALL the kids. While the lower SES schools have a 12:1 K ratio, the higher performing schools have 28:1. This is more than twice and 28 is way too high for any K class. The standards for the curriculum and level of challenge has been lowered so badly by 2.0 to allow the lower performing schools to claim success that kids from higher performing school who come into K with age appropriate skills are doing less than they did in preschool. This is not OK. Forcing my kids to sit on a bus for several hours a day and lose the neighborhood connection to a school just to mask over the housing segregation is not OK. The day this happens is the day everyone moves out of the county. [/quote]
