I fully believe most of the people posting here are selfish, tone deaf rich people. It doesn't mean everyone in your zip code meets that description.

Ok that settles it. You are just awful.

I do think long bus rides hurt community, since you have less participation from parents. definitely long bus rides hurt kids' ability to participate in after-school activities, and those also build community. I think long bus rides impact community because kids in the school together live in very different locations, making it difficult for them to hang out when not in school. I don't think I'm being hysterical to point this out.

I'm the "awful" poster and I think this is a perfectly fine way to advocate against a long bus ride for your own children

Oh I am so relieved to have your approval. Talk about entitlement.

XYZ consulting, for all the controversy around them, did find that mcps is very diverse and the high schools are not “segregated” from a data perspective (single race) except for Paint Branch on one end and Whitman on the other.

They are in search of a problem to solve with option 3.

PP you really are picking on the wrong people here to make your points.

Look at the races of Wheaton. Its not very diverse.

Can you read? The post you are responding too states that the consultant identified Paint Branch and Whitman as not diverse.

Who knows. Whatever happened to XYZ consulting anyways? I can’t even find the report they did anymore. They were working on diversification/proposals for several school districts at that time. Oddly enough they were actually some sort of architectural/urban planning firm.

Not sure if they worked on the NYC school redistricting plan or not (kind of think maybe they did?) but we all know what happened to that one.

Here is a link to the report by XYZ. Worth a read (even though 500+ pages).

It's WXY, not XYZ!

but I'm advocating for my community, which is wider than just my children. i think it is a good idea to have connections with our neighbors, because we all need help sometimes. I sometimes need a neighbor to watch one kid when the other has some sudden medical need, for example. I want other parents who I can carpool with to camps. I want to know the teen down the street who can babysit and who is also the older sibling of one of my kids' friends. these things are tied to location, neighborhood, and often knowing each other from school.

Yeah you can definitely still have that even if they bus your area to a different high school, and to suggest otherwise is unhinged

the options in the WXY report are exactly the same as those from Flo.

I'm sorry are we learning and moving from these reports? This all just seems painfully regurgitated.

you didn't really read what I wrote, did you. but also you've generated a strawman to call me unhinged. it's just a bad-faith method of arguing.
