There would be less complaining about oversevelopment in Montgomery county if it wasn’t so negatively affecting our quality of life.  Especially our schools.

[b]You really think you can honestly say that MCPS is better now than it was 20 years ago?  [/b]

Maybe you are in the acuty if Rocjville and benefit from the better services offered, versus those of us stuck with the County,  but your kids are still stuck in MCPS.

The out of control development has led to ridiculously overcrowded schools and has negatively affected education.  Responsible development is fine.  That is not what has been going on in Montgomery county over the past decade.

Generally I interpret "The schools were better 20 years ago" as meaning "There were fewer poor kids and brown kids in MCPS 20 years ago".[/quote]

Not the PP but that main issue I see with the school and development is years of overcrowding. Like 30-50% overcrowded and the county doing nothing.  Stop building more condos if you don't have schools to put the kids in.  Stop saying kids don't live in condos (yes, the board says this!) And don't get me started about this disaster of the 2.0 curriculum. They also raised teacher student rations and took away paraeducators.  That is my main issues with why MCPS sucks.

That said, I do think the huge influx of poor illegal immigrants that do not speak English has been a burden onto the schools and resources, in certain areas like Rockville, Derwood, Silver Spring, and Gaithersburg.  There is a really bad gang presence here in Gaithersburg now.  I wish they would start putting asylum seeking teens in the W schools or up in Poolesville/Damascus.     [/quote]
