[quote=Anonymous]Cut the friggin school budget.  If times are tough for the country, then local govts need to stop spending money and increasing salaries.  Period. MCPS doesn't get to keep increasing spending ad infinitum despite economic conditions.  In fact, they should cut salaries.

Spending has little correlation with educational outcomes after a certain point. Why can countries like Sweden, Japan, South Korea, China, and Singapore produce a far better educational product than US public schools while spending 2-3x less?  Most of the money in systems like MCPS go entirely to an over bloated bureaucratic mess that pays 100s and thousands of unnecessary people crazy salaries with cushy pensions. Then they have to hire consultants for $2000/h to come up with a modernized curriculum teaching math, even though math needs no updating, and then spend even more money on more consultants to study  the potential impact and long term outcomes.

Cut and fire 80% in MCPS. Reduce taxes, make MoCo a better place to do business. [/quote]
