So address the link, how do you stop the white and Asian kids from performing better than the black and brown kids? This is about wealth and not about race. You can’t make poor kids magically rich. That’s not how it works and taking all the honors slots away from them won’t help.

Nobody is taking honors or AP slots away from anyone. There is no such thing as an "AP slot" in MCPS.

That's fine so every English can be AP. If you say so.

Explain how you prevent the white kids from doing better like in that link. You keep ignoring the question. Look at the link, how do you prevent that?

Who is talking about preventing any kid from doing well?

So what's the plan then? Send some kids from Potomac 15 miles away to change the education culture of the rest of the school? To teach Hispanics how to speak English? To teach black kids how to study? What exactly is the purpose? How do you stop the white kids from doing well and everyone else from doing poorly like in the link. You keep ignoring the link because it's an example of the future of MoCo. The next step will be to blame them because they're white.

You don't understand. It's not about helping the Black and Hispanic kids do better. MCPS considers that a lost cause. The new plan is to sprinkle Whites and Asians into the lower performing schools so that the average test scores go up. Get it now? Your child is considered a tool to MCPS.

yup because the only thing lower performing blacks and hispanics need is to be around higher performing whites and asians and poof magically higher performing. Now that is actual racisim and guess what that is what the SJW are actually proposing. So who is really the racist here.

This really is the essence of it, isn't it. It's not about money, because Focus Schools and Title 1 schools do get more money. It really is about simply moving the ratios around so that AA and Latinx kids can be around Asian/White kids. Hilarious, and truly a racist proposition.

It seems pretty ugly that you want schools to be segregated into these two groups.

And again the SJW makes the logical leap from nothing because he/she is obsessed with segregation.

But since you asked there are plenty of hispanic and AA families who actually want to be in areas where they are in the majority. That is their choice just as it is the choice of anyone to live anywhere based on any criteria.

All children in this county are entitled to the same high-quality public education. This isn't limited to just those children whose parents bought in Potomac. Further, the practice of creating high-poverty schools where students do worse needs to end.

I think the same PP is posting as racist and the “SJW”. I got my eye on you PP! The nonsensical writing is distinctive.

This all seems so misguided. Is the goal to add poorer people into wealth schools just because? What exactly is the purpose and how is this going to help outcomes?

You believe that minorities like this idea of separate but equal?

don't you know adding poorer black and brown people to richer white and asian areas automatically puts on a +5 intel upgrade

No that is so outdated. They are now moving wealthy kids to poor schools.

I guess we're past having a reasonable discussion.

PP - are you the guy who likes to post about desegregation in Missouri? I recognize your writing style. Why don’t you step away from the screen and get a breath of fresh air.

Of course not

I believe that most people on DCUM are trying to do what is best for their kids

I also know that there are tons of minorities (and poor whites in other areas) who are actually choosing to live in areas with crappy schools. For the life of me I don't know why people do this. There are plenty of low wage jobs and lower cost of living areas in other parts of the country zoned for better schools.

you seem sincere keep posting

the goal is to close the achievement gap. You close the achievement gap by lowering scores at the top and/or increasing scores at the bottom. That's what everyone is being judged against in modern education wonk/policy/politics

same insane principle applies though that somehow adding "higher" performing kids is going to help the "lower performing" kids

that's what's so insane to me and others. The lower performing kids will still be lower performing which I think is the actual thing we should be focused on, how to improve the lower performing kids.
