Now federal trikes for public education will suck [/quote]

The federal government doesn't do much for K-12 education. They might try to encourage vouchers, but they can't really force it. And vouchers wouldn't be so bad. It would be good for MCPS to have to deal with a little competition. Vouchers would probably be a pretty effective tool for preventing MCPS from adopting a bunch of early release days.  And would similarly stop the unions from pushing for changes to state law to allow 4 day school weeks.[/quote]

The last thing we need is to divert dollars from our system to have vouchers. We already have enough areas that are underfunded. Maryland's Blueprint for Education costs are going to drive up taxes enough.[/quote]

The last thing we need are more early release days or 4 day school weeks. I agree that we don't want to pull funding away from public schools, but making private schools more of a credible alternative to public schools is the only way to address the stranglehold teachers unions have over state and local politics.[/quote]

I love early release days for appointments and other things.[/quote]

You've said this before, but it's odd. You don't need early release days for appointments.  Perhaps you haven't run into this if your kids don't have unique medical or special needs, but there very often don't get to choose your appointment days/times. You basically have to take the next available appointment, which doesn't end up being for 3-6 months anyway (or a year, if you're going for a developmental pediatrician).[/quote]
