[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ashburton ES, Bethesda. 26 in K, no classroom aide. Why does Bethesda ES get classroom aides? I'm feeling pretty bitter about the huge class size in a supposedly sought after area.[/quote]

The reason that Bethesda and other affluent areas have larger Kindergarten classes is because 95% of the students come from wealthy homes and speak English and are able to help their children  In my area of the county 50% of the students are ESOL and 50% are on free and reduced meals.  So these students don't come to Kindergarten with all the benefits of those who live in affluent areas and families.

I'm not sure why you are so bitter.  If you want smaller class sizes, move to my neighborhood in Silver Spring. It is cheaper, we have great ethnic restaurants and lots of diversity. [/quote]
So, those who put less into the system take more out of the system. Sounds about right.[/quote]

So do you think that your cleaning lady should pay more taxes than your BigLaw neighbor?

We are only as strong as our weakest link.

I use a cleaning service because I keep it nice and legal but I bet the average cleaning lady could pay 100% of her income and not come close to my Big Law neighbor. However, of the cleaning ladies out there, subtract those who are illegal, those who don't report their income and those who rent, and I don't think they really create much of a sustainable tax base. Big Law neighbor is a much better bet if you're trying to raise revenue. As for your friend Michelle, she should put her money where her mouth is and donate everything to the less fortunate. She wastes more on a dress than most cleaning ladies earn in 3 months. She's a hypocrite.[/quote]
