[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny that everyone here hates the Kerwin commission, when mccpta who represents PTA and parents are for the Kerwin commission. Hogan has cut funds to mcps time and time again (sometimes the Democratic legislature has been able to get some back). He doesn't believe in equal rights for homosexuals. He believes in less government, except when it comes to women's bodies. [b]And remember that redistricting happens in 2020[/b].

I'm hoping people will come to their senses, Hogan is not good for Maryland. Hogan is good for wealthy white men.  Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.[/quote]

+1 I don't understand the Hogan love.  Maryland has dropped dramatically in the school rankings during his tenure as Governor, and he hasn't done much to make Maryland more business friendly as you would expect a Republican to do.  Add those factors with his complicit nature on the worst of Trump's policies (the Muslim ban), and he does not get my vote.[/quote]

Maryland has dropped - due to MoCo's drop - which is largely because it is now a large urban school district with the accompanying problems. MoCo was @ 12% Hispanic when our kid enrolled in K- now the school system is 37% Hispanic and growing. Many 9fo those kids are not accounted for prior to start of school, which makes it hard to forecast class sizes. We just have to recognize that MoCo will be like LA in ten years time. If you want the burbs, it's Howard or Frederick County for you - not MoCo.  [/quote]

Are you trying to make the argument that Hogan supporters are racist jerks? You’re doing a great job.  As for forecasting class sizes, as much as you may want to blame that on Hispanics, there’s an article in today’s Washington post that attributes more blame to the poor forecasting capabilities of MCPS and their clinging to the belief that families don’t live in apartment buildings, while constructing lots more apartment buildings in areas with desirable yet overcrowded schools.[/quote]

Hey - can someone getting the smelling salts?  I think this poster is about to faint.

The poster above simply pointed out that rankings measure a state's wealth and whiteness more than educational quality.   So if Maryland is getting more diverse quicker than the rest of the country, it's rankings based on meaningless education rankings will get relatively worse.

Wrong.  Please point me to a ranking system that reduces points based on the percentage of Hispanic students.  [Hint, you won't find it.][/quote]

The ranking systems are based on test scores, AP participation, graduation rates, etc. in other words, the things I recall liberals lecturing us are all race-based. [/quote]
