If you're in the Woodward zone...

Option 1 keeps Woodward closest to status quo. Half of WJ cohort (current Tilden elementary schools). But adds in crappy Loiederman in place of North Bethesda Middle. It's the most white option, but still westside story.

Option 2 seems most likely because it balanced enrollment numbers. But 1 is better if you like being as close to status quo as possible and don't want elementary schools to be broken up.

Option 3 is complete social engineering, instead of moderate social engineering like the other ones. You may end up at a high school far away.

Option 4 You get Parkland kids instead of Loiederman bringing down Woodward.

Wow, so objective!

Facts are facts, painful as they may be to you.

Which school did you go to that did not properly explain the difference between facts and opinions to you?

Here is a great example of toxic discourse that our kids should not have to listen to. Makes you wonder who are the people bringing down schools that bring together diverse communities.

Answer: it's the same BOE who is about to lose Mahmoud v Taylor.

It is so hilarious that this is the adults talking

Regardless of the option selected, Woodward is a new DCC school.

Tilden Middle School neighborhoods lost big.

It could be worse: picture an arts magnet Woodward.

I appreciate this comment as a DCC parent. It’s also wild to see people lose their minds over getting rezoned to Blair. We’re already zoned for Blair, and so many of our nearby neighbors wish they were zoned for Blair.

(I understand not wanting to be bused far away, but let’s not pretend that was the only way this came up negatively among west county folks.)

That has more to do with the opinions of Northwood or Einstein, Blair is the most desirable of the crappy schools. Everyone else in the county paid a premium to avoid it or is in the other conshitium

Honestly if these schools are not good enough for your precious snowflakes please for f—k’s sake go to a private exclusive school! What you don’t seem to understand is that this is a PUBLIC school system. Just because you bought in an area thinking the schools are one way you are not entitled at all to decide who goes to school where. There is a simple solution - LEAVE!

you think high schoolers read DCUM?

My friends and I did when we were in high school back in the early 2000's so yes they prob still do.

Maybe this is not the right county for you. Check out Florida. There are a lot of FARMS families here and Moco welcomes them with open arms. The county is diverse and there are fewer white people. Like I said, go elsewhere!

If parents feel public schools aren't meeting their needs, many will leave for private options or other districts. This exodus will shrink your tax base, as property values drop and fewer residents stay. Less tax revenue means less funding for those same schools, creating a downward spiral. Be careful what you wish for—dismissing concerns could cost you more than you think.

Thanks for illustrating the point.

It’s also that the social engineering of busing does not do what progressive think it will do. Try to help poor kids, for crying out loud, versus thinking that gleefully punishing the rich accomplishes the goal.

How do you think we should help the poor kids?
