Deal with it. We worked hard and prioritized education to succeed. DCC families are ok with mediocre schools.

You didn't prioritize education you just prioritize having an expensive house

From what I have read, MCPS hasn't done much to facilitate a safe a school environment for Kennedy students. Rather than address severe deficiencies in safety and facilities, the solution can't be to send some of the Tilden community there? How does that fix these serious issues with drugs and violence?

No child should wonder if walking into their MCPS school could mean it's their "last day alive." We shouldn't want this for any of our kids and hateful comments like the one of above are not productive to the conversation.

MCPS should focus on bringing the level of all schools up with zero compromises on safety. Not bussing kids around so that their numbers look better on paper.

This article is terrifying. Why are grown men going into Kennedy to jump students? And no this doesn’t happen at all mcps high schools. News flash: busing Tilden kids over to Kennedy isn’t going to solve that security issue (which is unacceptable to begin with).

Actually it does.

They’re laughing in the front office at you all keeping yourselves spinning on these endless threads, when they refuse to keep one single school safe.

The school violence is absolutely disgusting, and you’re wondering why so many of our kids are depressed. If your workplace was a potential WAR ZONE everyday, you’d be depressed to.

Some kids have PTSD, depending on how their brains process the violence they’ve witnessed, or directly experienced.

Out of touch?

People with excess wealth are the ones on here fretting about $2M homes going down in value.

I hate to let you know but better schools increase property values. So people that want better schools have higher priced homes.

Once more for those in the back:

It's the school board's job to care about schools, not your property values. Bringing up property values at all is a dog whistle, and the minute you bring it up, no one is listening to you or cares what you have to say. So please, make your case that split articulation is bad; make your case that kids shouldn't have long bus rides, or bus rides that go past another school they could be at sooner, etc. But let go of property values - it's irrelevant to redistricting

No, those of us doing well and aren’t materialistic often don’t care. We have our needs, most wants within reason and know we are fortunate. I would love my home to go down in price so my property taxes go down. We are in the dcc. We choose it as we wanted a more down to earth community. We could move but choose to stay.

from an optics standpoint you sound impossibly wealthy.

No, better is the quality of teacher your kid gets assigned. All parents want their kids to get a good education. The difference is the we have the same incomes but have more money for tutoring and more important college.

The schools in the DCC are not mediocre. Many kids go on to go to great colleges.

statistically, the better schools have less behavioral issues. (Not NONE.)

Lots of families prioritize education all over the county - what a ridiculous comment..

We are comfortable as we live way under our means and have very different values than you. I’d rather put to college as I’m amazed at people with expensive houses screaming poverty when it comes to college. We made sure to put ourselves in a good position come high school to support activities and tutors. We don’t have a huge income nor family help. By no means do we not value education and in fact it’s the opposite. No one cares where you go to k-12. What matters is getting through college AND grad debt free and having a good start to life. And, why move to a super huge house when kids will grow up and move out. I’d rather use that money for things we all enjoy. Or, hopefully for my future grandkids.

When you keep bringing up property values you are bringing up “white flight”. That is not going to go over well.

Google the rich schools. They have the same issues. Some more. Difference is parents can hire high priced attorneys to get their kids out of trouble. There have been some pretty horrible things happening at the wealthy schools the past few years.
