Why people care about redistricting SAT scores

It’s not about the color. I don’t want my A student to mingle with your D students because what can your kid teach my kid? How to smoke pot and play video games?

Your kid should take harder classes then. You won’t find D students in AP classes. What is your child taking?

The thing that people don’t seem to understand is that if the rezoning happens whole neighborhoods will be changing schools. Those changes will impact how the school is viewed. So if a big chunk of current WJ neighborhoods move to Einstein, Einstein will be perceived differently. The new perception (not the current one) could have an impact on house prices. And BTW not all W parents are against this. My kids have suffered due to the overcrowding, I think the need to address this systematically has been ignored. Boundaries need to be re-drawn. I, like many, don’t want my kid on the bus an excessive amount time, otherwise I’m open to changes.

There are currently kids on the bus for an excessive amount of time. I don’t think that MCPS would make it worse.

Maybe, there can be some changes made to BCC, Wooten, WJ that would change the SES mix of the school and capitalize on space provided by the opening of Woodward. But, for Whitman and Churchill, as is pointed out in another chain, their geographic position on the far Western Edge of the county makes it difficult to change the SES makeup of the school without someone bussing a very long time. I've read a lot of posts elsewhere that make it clear some people are resisting change out of fear of people different than themselves. But I think many more, like me, might be open to the change but they just don't understand how it would work without bussing kids long distances.

Some kids in these schools are already on buses for long distances. MCPS might be able to reduce those distances by adjusting boundaries. But not without first doing the boundary analysis that these change-resisters oppose.

Newsflash: your "A student" will smoke plenty of pot and play plenty of videogames when he finally breaks free from your crazy parenting. I've seen enough second-generation Asians going wild on whatever college campus they get to. And it won't be Harvard, I assure you.

This is the number one reason why people choose to stay away from high FARMS/Poverty/Black and Brown schools period. It's not racism it's about caring about the future or your children which is highly driven by the type of college you can attend which is you guessed it largely based on SAT scores.

You're an offing nut job and everyone knows who you are. You're also in the FB Boundary Analysis Just the Facts Group. That's how obvious you are.

I live in MoCo and my child goes to a non-W high school. The AP and honors classes are filled with college bound students. There are no D students in AP classes.

When your kid applies to college, they use their own, individual SAT score. They don't apply to college with their high school's average SAT score.

Ok really slowly so you can understand

Would you rather have your kid grow up and be around kids who score 900 on SATs or 1400 on SATs get it

It's about the environment, you want an environment with a higher performing cohort

Why do I want this?

because you give a f about your child and want them to be challenged/successful

I mean really lol

This is code for you want them around people who look like you and who are from a similar SES. If you don’t care about this, then ignore OPs desperate attempts at rationalizing.

I guess they missed that day in class where they explained how averages work. It's been repeatedly demonstrated that the same UMC kid would do pretty much the same at any school regardless of FARMS. It's the low performers that do better where poverty is less concentrated.

Right. And this issue has been studied broadly with the same result. OP s an idiot. Your kid's not getting into Yale or Harvard anyway!

Have they studied to see the impact of longer commutes on UMC kids? I doubt it. The UMC just has the option of moving if things are bad.

UMC kids spend at least two hours online everyday anyhow. These precious kids would be fine with a commute. They'd still have time to do everything else they have to do and maybe less time to do things they don't want to do, like being on line

Many of the gerrymandered boundaries presently involve longer commutes. Like my friend that lives near Wheaton whose kids get bused way over to WJ or people in Rockville going to BCC. The current maps are crazy. They could balance FARMS and still have less busing.

Wow. Such hatred for kids. I hope you don’t have an official role in the BOE or MCPS

People are fine with long commutes when it's to a "good" school. It's just when they draw the short-straw at least in their view that it's a problem. Many people are using commute as a way to mask their true feelings. More often than not commutes aren't always to the closest school already.
