[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is far from perfect, but as the recipient of much of their money, in the form of special needs educational support for my oldest child, I understand that their many special programs (Autism, Asperger's, GT/LD, magnets, etc) are expensive. And yet they are what makes MCPS great - it's one of the few school systems in the world that tries to support ALL students, not just the ones in the range of normal. So I applaud some of the principles and values behind the spending.[/quote]

Vehemently disagree.  My special needs child was ignored and shunted aside (dyslexic).  They support kids only if they receive extra Federal money (through Title 1).  It’s ALL about the money.  It is always about the money with MCPS.

Good Lord - just wait until the Blueprint for Maryland boondoggle gives MCPS even more billions.

I would also add that most of the billions are on autopilot.  90% of the budget goes to pensions, full healthcare and salaries.  There is a separate budget for operating expenses!  It never ends in terms of cash for them.[/quote]

How dare they expect healthcare and pensions![/quote]

I know and next will be asking for cost of living increases! It's so greedy that they want to be treated like everybody else and aren't willing to sacrifice everything.[/quote]

I know, right? Teachers should be willing to work for peanuts, contract, with no healthcare and no retirement benefits because thiiiiiink of the chiiiiiildreeeeen,

That will definitely help stop the bleeding of teachers fleeing the profession and not NEARLY enough newly minted teachers coming to replace them.  :roll: [/quote]
