[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One who graduated public and one we pulled out of and put in a $50k private their freshman year in HS after the MCPS cluster f*ck that started with Covid.

I would have over $200,000 toward retirement and other expenses, but we don't, because MCPS is still such a mess.  Oh well, will work a few more years.  Vouchers are not the answer, because saving me the $$ won't help the publics, only hurt them.  And it won't help most who can't afford the $50k to attend.  And, the privates do not have enough space for all the MCPS public school students.

What MCPS needs is to clean house, everyone in Central Office needs to go, esp those who claim  Special Ed, but all they do is hurt special Ed students and programs.  Also, clean house of the Board of Education.  They do not do any oversight, they listen to what MCPS tells them and then agree.  That is the only way we will get any change of course/corrections to the once mighty school system.

+1 I pulled one child out of public before COVID. I found a private that had much smaller class sizes, a great disability support counselor, and provided my child with a scholarship to make the option something we could afford (still strapped and cut in savings but doable).

I have one that I wished I could have pulled out at the same time but we could not afford two tuitions. He has multiple disabilities but suffered severe regression during online learning.  An audit of his grades shows a school system that modified his educational expectations to the point he is failing major tests but still is being passed through.  As a parent, I see that his needs are not being met and he is being denied even a minimal education.[/quote]
