[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony, of course, is that people on DCUM will claim again and again that famlies [b]"over there"[/b] don't care about education, don't bother supporting their childrens' academic success, etc.

But the moment they DO take steps to support their struggling student, or their student who needs accelleration, it becomes yet another thing to complain about.

It's almost as if poor and working class families can't do anything right, per DCUM.

More to the point, its as if a certain type of parent doesn't like the idea of a more level playing ground and wants to root out any chances kids have to access affordable support. [/quote]

People 'over' where??

I think there are lots of Working Class families who find this somewhat odd - that MCPS would funnel money into a private school, when our kids don't even have adequate staffing/facilities at our schools.

My kids attend a Focus School in Silver Spring.  Are were 'over there' enough for you?  My principal could do a TON with an extra $600K.  We have no aides in K, our media specialist is begging parents to donate books, our class sizes in 4th and 5th grade are ridiculous.  Even if they want to divide the $600K that MCPS gives Saturday School amongst the Title 1/Focus Schools in the county, most parents 'over here' would be pretty happy with an extra few thousand dollars in the school's budget.[/quote]
