[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year they failed to change bell times properly because they because they don't have enough school busses.

Three days after this blizzard they still had unplowed roads.

They can't seem to get their trash collectors out for possibly the entire week following blizzard.

And now they cancel school yet another day.

And this is one of the richest counties in the country?

They are too big.  
They waste tax dollars 
They don't have a snow emergency plan
They rely on county snow plows to do their lots when most school districts in the country have smaller counties or private clean-up service in their budget
They build too fast without having any schools to put the kids entering the new homes
They have a monopoly on the booze and liquor licenses and none of that money is going to where it should be (so corrupt) 
The school board wastes money time and time again ($11 million on changing the times 20 minutes) and then complains they don't have enough each year for their budget
They are liberal so they give away our taxes on citizens that are not even legal
Most of the county that is rich don't send their kids to public so they don't care what the schools are like
The middle class is shrinking faster than ever

So true!

This county is just too big and has grown so much that it is just not being managed effectively.  The school system, the public services, anything. [/quote]

We are falling apart. We are no longer the richest either. Loudon, Arlington, Fairfax and Howard have all surpassed us in the last five years. We are on our way to becoming the next PG county. [/quote]

Whatever, Fairfax cancelled school for the rest of the week already...if you want to complain about the whole DC area, fine, but MoCo is no worse off than the other counties in terms of school closings, plowing, etc.[/quote]

Not true. Fairfax and Loudon plan ahead with more snow days. FC has 11 and LC has 14[/quote]

So again the issue isn't that you think our children are missing out on valuable school days or that a snow day is unnecessary due to weather conditions, but rather that this is going to affect your plans for 6 months from now. THAT's why Montgomery County is so terrible -- because it isn't sensitive to your need to have everything planned and controlled. And because you are worried about camp and vacations.

You need to gain some perspective and perhaps reflect on your priorities.[/quote]
