[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so depressing. Nobody wants their taxes to go up, but without more money, how do we prevent schools from being overcrowded and class sizes from being too big to be manageable and teachers’ workloads from being twice as many hours as they’re paid for?[/quote]

[b]I don’t want my taxes to go up.[/b] The county has the money, but they mismanage and spend on unnecessary pet projects instead of paying teachers.[/quote]

And this continues to be why we can’t have nice things. How much do people think should be allocated per student in average.  Multiply that by 165k and that will give you the minimum amount the county needs. [/quote]

MCPS is one of the highest funded school systems.  [/quote]

And also one of the largest and with lots of specialized programs at the HS and even MS level.  So again I ask, what do you think should be the per pupil allocation?  I’d also add how much do you think teachers and staff should be paid? What if anything are you willing to allow to be changed.

We could move sports from HS to the county level.  We could reduce the number of special programs. We could require that all materials be provided for all students in school? We could require that primary grades have two teachers. We could require that lunch be really nutritious and recess actually occur for 45mins. We could decide that acceleration is not the goal but learning and becoming positive citizens.[/quote]
