[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Public schools are incredibly well-funded compared to private schools, especially in the DC area. There’s nothing a public school needs in these rich areas of DC and Montgomery county.  Private schools need auctions and always hat in hand because it is super expensive to run a school well and have good programs. Also, private schools attract teachers who don’t want to teach to the test or have inflexible curricula. [/quote]

They are actually not that well funded when you look at where the money goes. At least 50% of the budget goes to support all aspects of special education that school districts are required to provide per federal laws and regulations [/quote]

Incorrect.  At least in MCPS where 90% of the 2.8 billion goes to staff pensions, salaries and healthcare.  Which is pretty funny!  All these retired teachers from MCPS in South Carolina funded by blue state taxes.  The special education budget has also been cut every year under Dr. Smith - yet somehow in 2017 the county found 11 million to pay outside counsel to fight IEP implementation.  Really the scam of the unions continues to be to convince the power centers in TP and Silver Spring they are underpaid.  Part of the scam is keeping the schools looking terrible - and allowing many of the schools in higher tax areas (Wootton cluster) to remain the oldest in the county and filled with portables (hence trying to justify even higher taxes).
