No that is so outdated.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

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.

A good solution would be to break the county into two smaller counties. It's just too darn large. Montgomery County would consist of everything East of the Red Line running next to 355. Everything West of the Red Line would be West Montgomery County.

The BOE is relying on studies that indicate low-income students do worse at schools with highly-concentrated poverty. It makes sense the BOE wouldn't want a better learning environment for kids who are struggling, but I also understand many parents are more interested in the potential impact on their property values than an equitable education.

Or even better North and South, but the thing is this isn't legal.

north/south makes the most sense due to weather patterns, and actually, MCPS does kinda look at north/south in terms of some of the magnet programs, or they used to.

Education is equitable, same curriculum, teachers, same facilities, the outcome is not equitable. Majority parents are interested in good education and school climate for their own kids, there is nothing wrong in that, that's why they are busting their behind to live where they live.

PP above. Also, all this SJW nonsense is deliberately ignoring the fact that the education is equitable, what will you all do created equitable outcomes?? This nonsense has to stop or every single high earner is going to leave MoCo. Maybe you all deserve this, you can have plenty fun once the tax base shrinks. Where are going to find the money then to champion your so called causes?

Agree completely. The County needs to be split up. And agree that North/South would make sense.

I will say it again. This is not about raising the performance of minority students. This is about putting white and asian kids in low performing schools so that the average test scores increase.
