MCPS High School Boundary Map? Current.

Evidently you also think that being a law-abiding, productive person is something rich people are more of than poor people.

Good grief.

Let’s discuss why some svhools are strong but others are weak by looking into each component and then ask how to improve it. Remember, the goal of MCPS is not to produce schools with equal out come. MCPS should provide tools for EACH student to reach his/her potential

wow - that's exactly the argument many used in favor of segregation!

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.

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.

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.

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.

So why are some schools in a public system good while others are not?

Because we, as a society, have decided that rich people deserve better public services than poor people.

Except the rich do not receive (or deserve) better services. More resources are provided to schools that serve poor students than rich students.

Sure! That's why everybody in the affluent DCUM demographic flocks to schools attended mostly by poor students! Because those schools receive better services!

Wait, what?

If you dont know anything about MCPS, go read a few of their documents on extra resources for title one and focus schools. Most people support extra funding for needy students and schools on Montgomery County.

They receive far more resources. That doesn't mean that these schools perform better. Of course, they don't. But that performance (or lack thereof) is a function of the students who attend each school.

If all the students at Whitman traded places with all the students at Watkins Mills --- but all other aspects of the schools and resources they were provided stayed the same -- Watkins Mills would quickly become a top ranked school and Whitman would quickly become low ranked.

Their education is supported with greater resources. Whether they receive a better education is hard to say. They do not have better educational results, but that is not a function of lack of resources.

Don't you think it's odd, though, that if these schools provide better public services, many affluent people in Montgomery County do all they can to avoid sending their children to these schools?

No, not at all. These schools are failing, notwithstanding them receiving substantially greater resources.

In other words, they *don't* provide better public services.

Kids with uneducated parents come to school unprepared. Kids from dysfunctional homes have chronic behavioral issues that teachers cant handle. Parents don't want this type of peer group for their kids since they bring nothing to the table.
