[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank god there aren't any charters here. This death knell of public education is a long time GOP fantasy to harm the public by cutting taxes which benefit the common good. There are however a couple of for-profit prison companies dying to break into this arena. [/quote] No. Public education in MCPS has been killed by the inept leadership and crappy County Council that insists on over developing the County leading to overcrowded and underfunded schools. [/quote] You would think more people meant more taxes.[/quote] You would think that, right? And yet, the class sizes just keep getting bigger. The money certainly hasn't been going to smaller class sizes in MCPS. [/quote] It hasnt, only when taxes are raised on property or income. MoCo adjusted-for-inflation MEDIAN income has been STAGNANT for 20 years. Why? Because low income (or no income cuz all cash jobs and remittances to the homeland) people vastly outweighed any income or quantity increase from highly skilled, educated people. Read the study for yourself, it is a link in the WaPo article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/transportation/2019/01/24/study-montgomery-county-has-grown-older-more-diverse-pricier/[/quote]
