The most segregated schools in Maryland are in .... Howard County

[Anonymous]

I completely disagree with this statement. Many parents, in theory, like the idea of less segregation, but as soon as it comes time for their precious white kids to attend school? That's a whole other ball of wax. I mean, there are those of us parents who do walk the walk, but so many more just talk the talk.

PP, just curious? Is there a point at which you wouldn't be willing to "walk the walk"? What is the percentage of FARMS at your kids' school? Would you be willing to move your kids away from their friends and from a 15% FARMs high school to a 50% FARMs school in the name of justice and equality? What about 60% or more? Is there a line for you? Would you be ok with your kids having a longer bus ride to go to a school with a high FARMs population and far less parental involvement than their elementary and middle schools?

Or are you just advocating that all public schools should be relatively equal?

Again, this study was not talking about racial segregation, it was talking about economic segregation.

Neighborhoods that feed into different high schools are determined by the school board after analyzing multiple factors. Housing price is not a factor. Certainly some schools have more diversity - and much of that is because of some these schools have higher number of apartments and lower priced housing in their areas so they provide entry level living for people moving into the county or lower income families. Article is written to inflame and indoctrinate people into it’s author’s odd belief system; isn’t factual or from any official source.

What makes them the best PP? Cmon. They are the best because they have high test scores. They have high test scores because the population is full of wealthy, educated parents and not full of uneducated, poor people. This isn't rocket science.

On papers only

So most of SE DC is fake SE DC?

Yawn guess what happens when you integrate schools

Classes are still segregated generally with richer, whiter and more asian kids along with Africans taking more advanced classes

and poorer more black (but not Africans) and Hispanic kids taking lower classes

all this is does is just reinforce stereotypes. Still want to integrate schools now?

Also have you ever been to an integrated school cafeteria, kids generally sit with whoever they have classes with and just like with human housing settlement patters you have segregation by table/neighborhood

I can't believe that in 2019, people are still saying that segregated schools are just fine.

Actually I can believe it, but it's depressing.

I don't think you understood what I wrote. Do you think segregated neighborhoods are fine? Because guess what the vast vast vast majority of US neighborhoods are segregated mainly by income and which correlates to race in many cases.

My main point again even if you have integration at a school the vast majority of classes with be segregated by income which again is closely correlated to race

If you are talking about within a few blocks of 1st and C St NE DC, yeah, that is not real SE DC

Yep, but I am not surprised.
HoCo is one of the areas that people who wished for a MoCo of 1970's move to.

Tale a look at the thread on the violent fight at Macgruder and you can guess why parents would prefer to see and their kids to HoCo and even be picky within HoCo about which schools they send their children to

HOCO seems ideal for the type of folks who look back on the years before civil rights and desegregation longing

What are you talking about???? Do you not understand human nature?? People naturally cluster according income which is closely correlated to race

MoCo is segregated East West

UMC+ Blacks in PG aren't using public schools either

no one purposely wants to be around the poors

The kids involved in the violent fight at Magruder were apparently white. (It's interesting that you assume otherwise.) But maybe their parents didn't go to top colleges, or something.
