So, it’s self centered and entitled to assume that your money at least goes towards adequately educating your children? [/b] Some people don’t have any money left over for extra tutors, classes or therapies to educate their children outside of the public school. The county shouldn’t be taking people’s money - raising taxes frequently and having some of the highest taxes in the nation - and then squandering it and redistributing it in such a way that leaves middle class people needing to pay for private school or hire expensive tutors. That’s rudicous.
Of course people expect a good education for their children with the rates of taxes paid. Yes they are entitled to that - they worked to pay their taxes and an good education is expected. If the county wants to provide a crappy education they can reduce taxes so that people can choose their own private school for their kids if need be.

If you send your kid to a private school and pay the tuition you expect a good education for your child. The public school system is only different in that many people whose children don’t go to the schools and those who have no children are paying towards the schools. There’s plenty of money provided it’s just being mismanaged.[/quote]

My children are getting a more-than-adequate education. Maybe you should move to the part of the county I live in. It's evident, at least from the gripes on DCUM, that people who move to Bethesda or Potomac "for the schools" aren't getting what they think they paid for.[/quote]

They are getting a good education- a VERY good education.  The problem is unrealistic expectations that are not being met.  [/quote]
