[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am liberal. I live in an upper middle class neighborhood that goes is zoned with very poor neighborhoods for public school. We did private school but it had increased 30% in 5 years and we could no longer afford it. In public school for two years and now trying to figure out how to afford private again.
I don’t consider myself a hypocrite. I vote for increase in public school funding. I want the public school education to be better. I don’t want my children - or any children - to have a poor education. However I cannot make an impact in other kids education - only mine.
Why private? My children are not being challenged. They score 100% on tests, have no homework, but aren’t gifted. I see the tests - they are doing the same work they did 2 years ago in private school. They are bored. Class size is 28. Teachers are dealing with kids that barely read. No time to actually challenge my kids. Not the teachers fault - they need smaller class sizes.[/quote]

Look into your schools budget and see where the money goes.

I don't care if you are left-wing or right wing, but prepare to get angry.  See how little money gets spent in the classroom, how little is spent on capital projects.

Look at the teacher to administrator ratio (FCPS is .7 admins per teacher).
