[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School choice voucher system plus charter school competition would make MCPS $hit a brick or two. 
They know educated parents are doing all the real legwork to keep average scores and grades up. With school choice they can watch everyone with a brain and work habits opt out. [/quote]

I think it’s time to consider that Montgomery County needs to implement a different system.  I don’t really think MCPS cares if families leave the school system, but it’s not great for the County to not have strong schools.[/quote]

I’m a strong supporter of public schools.  I went to public school and am sending my kids to MCPS.  But, it’s tough.  Basically this entire year, the teachers are flying without a curriculum?  That’s pathetic.

In a smaller district, they can make changes quicker and fix problems as they arise.

MCPS seems to be unable to fix anything.  They seem to not even want to acknowledge that problems exist, sometimes (eg. Damascus rape case being labeled as a ‘hazing’).

I have lived in other cities and countries where the public education system is not strong.  The wealthy send their kids to private and the entire school system suffers.  MCPS should be a strong school system, but seems to be underperforming mightily. It will be a huge negligible if MCPS crashes. [/quote]
