But we're not like other parts of the country. We are one county and we have poor schools, rich schools, and those in between in this one county. We've already established that schools with a high number of poor kids are not good for all students at the school; regardless of what the school does or what programs are established at that school. WHy would school vouchers be a burden to other schools as long as they don't significantly drive up the FARM rates and cause overcrowding?  [/quote]

School vouchers would not be a burden to other schools. They would be a burden to PEOPLE. You know how affluent people on DCUM don't want their kids going halfway across the county with school-provided transportation? Now imagine how poor people would get their kids halfway across the county without school-provided transportation.

And they don't even work in terms of the math. There are 57,000 very poor kids in MCPS. Is there room for 57,000 additional kids in the schools in Bethesda and Potomac?[/quote]
