[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't live in the area, but she is making a good point overall. All ps systems are terrible. And they are doing their best with real humans and it's not like another system is going to be any better. It's true. [/quote] Unless they go to Massachusetts. [/quote] New England has smaller systems that segregate by town which most often separates the rich and poor.[/quote] Right, and MCPS ... doesn't separate by SES? [/quote] Not in the same way it is done in the other states mentioned…no comparison. [b]MCPS schools except perhaps Whitman are very diverse now.[/b] [/quote] MCPS is actually very segregated. https://www.thesentinel.com/communities/educational-inequality-in-montgomery-county-public-schools/article_8ad9307c-54cd-11ee-aba4-3b19165af141.html https://ggwash.org/view/71803/montgomery-county-is-finally-talking-about-its-segregated-schools.-but-can-we-fix-them https://kappanonline.org/integration-segregation-suburban-school-districts-montgomery-county-rotberg/ [/quote] The old boundaries from the '80s that are still in use today were gerrymandered to achieve this.[/quote] Upcounty '80s that was quite a different era because of growth; QOHS opened in '88 and WMHS opened in '89. Standards for districting weren't based on race or wealth, but rather on parameters of population stability. For example, single family homes are considered to be more stable populations while apartments/condo have a more transient population and so the district looked at balancing these types of populations.[/quote]
