[quote=Anonymous]Comparing DCPS to MCPS is wrong-headed when it comes to diagnosing the "problems." DCPS was underutilized and middle class white families were avoiding the public schools full stop. Partially in order to attract those families, DCPS used some of their MANY empty classrooms for PK3 and PK4. Combined with a robust charter system, you had parents stay in the city for preschool and then "play the lottery" for charter. That is not the same problem as MCPS has. MCPS already has plenty of middle class families. The issue is that the county council is so beholden to CASA and other special interest groups that they just keep throwing up new "low income housing" with no plan in place to educate the kids who move into it. Short version: DC didn't have enough kids to keep the schools open. MCPS has FAR too many kids already. [/quote]
