[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Anything you do in the schools is just treating a symptom not the disease.[/b] If you don’t fix the challenges facing the families it is just like bailing out a boat with a hole in the bottom. [/quote] I don't know about your experience, but in my experience, treating the symptoms is often very helpful. For example: my neighbor had shingles, it was very painful, she got gabapentin, she felt better. Should the doctor have said, "No, I'm not going to prescribe anything, because it's just treating a symptom not the disease"? Of course not.[/quote] MCPS has been treating the symptoms: smaller classes, free pre-K, free tutoring, free meals, free summer schools, free backpack, free school supplies, free, free, .............. [/quote] Yes, and it's working! Hooray![/quote]
