Most of what people think is ghetto Langley Park is Takoma Park or Silver Spring. Nob Hill and Quebec Terrace are inside blair zone and one of the reasons it sucks |
The BoE has said otherwise. I could summarize but guessing you can google. |
Exactly! |
It's not segregation. Any family can attend any school in the county. Just buy or rent in the cluster you want. There is no law preventing them from doing so. |

Yes, the same flawed reasoning lives on sadly. |
That word is doing a whole lot of work in that sentence, there. |
I truly don't see the issue. Lots of people without a lot of means make sacrifices to live in certain areas for various reasons. Good schools, low crime, proximity to employment, etc. Nobody is prevented from living in these spaces. |
Have you lived in any housing project? Have you lived in Queens? If you did, you know where you dont want to raise your child. |
If they have the money for it. |
So we have to manufacture a way to emulate a rich childhood for every child of the unwashed masses? The ability to buy nicer things and force nicer situations for you and your family is why people earn money. That process isn’t fair nor is it intended to be. The lord loves the common man, that is why he made so many of them and they enjoy common results. There are only so many seats on the bus, you think you own some moral high ground but really all you are advocating for is a changing of the standards to increase your likelyhood of getting one VS someone else advocating for a system they do better in. |

Really.
The masses have indoor plumbing. |
I guess you think of good public schools, safe neighborhoods, and access to jobs as things rich people should be able to buy more of than poor people. Well, I don't. |

Who made the public schools bad? Who made the neighborhood s unsafe? |
