MCPS has been trying to close the gap for how many years now? And what has it resulted in? some kids still doing poorly and brighter kids not being challenged. MCPS has been meeting some populations where they are by providing free meals, free clothes, free medical care, extra classes, but [b]none of this is working[/b] and it is impacting other populations. it would be fantastic if these dollars would go to hiring more teachers. Smaller classrooms will benefit all. how about more classes to challenge brighter kids?? Not the dumbed down versions of honors classes we have today where 75% of the grade is in them. Bring back tracking so that all the kids in a classroom have a chance to move at the same.pace. how about more extracurricular activities? face it, some kids are not destined for success as you and I envision it. And as outsiders, we can't fix what is going on at home. There are some problems that MCPS will never be able to fix.[/quote]

You're saying that, based on what? The argument seems to be: MCPS tried x, y, and z, and it didn't solve the a big, complex, societal problem completely, so MCPS should just stop doing all of those things. (What free clothes and free medical care is MCPS providing, by the way?)

"Some kids are not destined for success" is what people say about the kids of [i]those[/i] people - you know, [i]them[/i]. I could say the same with equal validity about your kids - my kids are doing fine in school, so if yours aren't, I guess they're just not destined for success, sorry. Right?[/quote]

coming from nature SJ warrior. everyone is a winner! [/quote]

It's better than writing off kids, which is what you're doing (other people's kids, of course).[/quote]

It’s not my job to financially pay for everyone else’s kids, especially when it leaves less resources and money for my own kids. I’m tired of having my pocket picked by do gooder liberals who state ‘you can afford it’ as they are doing it.

Furthermore, liberals are deliberately inviting in people from other nations who are not self-supporting and telling me I have to pay for that as well.

You, pp, are perfectly happy writing off my and other wealthier people’s kids as a form of twisted revenge. It’s a sick game.[/quote]
