Of course it does, being hungry and having nothing to lose reduces the amount of Fs one give. Having something to lose is actually more the thing that enforces compliance to society’s norms.

Agree.

Yet some crazy people on here think it's good for my kid to go to school with other kids who are more prone to comit crime

It also sucks for broader Garrett Park community. Garrett Park pool crew (Garrett Park, Garrett Park estates, white flint park) will not be happy.


No worries, they will fix that with the upcoming elementary boundary study


They are fine at elementary and middle school actually. It's the high school they are not fine with. That community will rally. I have friends there who are up in arms


Wow. That's pretty disgusting. I hope for their children's sakes they do Option D because being this fragile is not good for them.

Let's be real, you all know a 30% FARMS rate is fine, but you also know it means it will reduce the real estate differential for your neighborhood compared with the 40-50% FARMS school and you can't tolerate losing 5% of your $5 million in wealth


30% is worse than my current situation and my current situation is barely acceptable. So no, I'm not ok with it. Sure it sucks to lose home equity, but having a cruddy school on top of it? No thanks


I can't imagine what on earth about being, what, 20% or 25% FARMS makes a school "barely acceptable." That's not a high FARMS rate or anything like that, not enough to put any meaningful strain on a school's resources. A 30-40% FARMS rate is just a plain vanilla normal school, not a poor one-- if you're down below 30% you're definitely on the richer side of normal. If you don't like your school, fine, but probably the issue is that it's badly run or something like that. What kind of problems could possibly be caused by that low a FARMS rate?


Numerous peer reviewed academic studies state the tipping point is 20%. So you, random Internet person, not being able to "imagine" it mattering is not credible with your esteemed credentials.


Your mom isn’t credible with her esteemed credentials of raising a jackass.

because they get split by school, or something else?


They are basically the same neighborhood (a big chunk of the elementary school), same community pool, community association that does everything together, yet they're breaking it apart. One option even breaks up the Town of GP too, which is weird, bc it's such a tiny municipality. Option D will not sit well with that area


Oh no, the same pool? That will be chaos.


Community building sucks in this community. Nobody values it.


Because most of you are terribly unpleasant.

Wealthy communities have less crime. Especially less violent crime.


Yeah, but wealthy communities commit all the white collar crime, destabilize banking systems, and perpetuate predatory lending schemes.

This is what PP wants for their child.
“Oh, Chad is in PE now.” They literally salivate at the idea of their kid getting rich off destroying the working class. Vile, vile people.

What value is it to be in school with poor kids? Honestly. What's the value to a non-poor kid's education to being with poor kids?

Unrelated, but on top of, is the economics of property values. It's why Whitman and Churchill are "good". Less poor kids.


There's no value to their learning reading, writing, math, science. None.

The woke will tell you it's value for the social experience. Over rated fluff.

No value. high poverty is bad for a school. Medium poverty not good. Low poverty good. It's simple.


Go away aready.

Kids aren't rich or poor, their parents are. Its sad you determine someone's wealth by their zip code and house size even if they are heavily in debt.


Don't be sad. I actually determine it by FARMS rate. They get free food because they inherently do not have wealth.


All kids are poor including yours.

No one wants you around our kids. No one works even suggest it but you. We just want equal courses, clubs, sports and other offerings for all students, not just yours. Why should our taxes just to to benefit your kids and not all?

Let's see these studies, then, if you're so sure they exist. I couldn't find any. (And no, ones that say that higher-poverty schools are worse for the poor kids doesn't count. Clearly you are only concerned about the effects on your precious UMC or upper-class kids, so please point me in the direction of the studies that say that privileged kids suffer if even a quarter of the kids around them are poor and instead must be largely insulated from them.)

In the meantime, our elementary school is about 40% FARMS and doesn't feel like a "poor school" in any way and I don't see any major problems or challenges caused by it. So I indeed cannot imagine how having a FARMS rate of half that would make someone's school "barely acceptable.". But if I'm missing something, please enlighten me.

Y'all can compare MCAP math and ELA proficiency rates for White kids between Einstein and Walter Johnson, Churchill etc. on the MD school report card spoiler alert: it's not worth paying a premium for the "good" high schools. You are better off supplementing at home.

Because poor kids like yours are stupid. Why are we going to invest when they'll tap out at grocery store clerk? We should invest in the future doctors, lawyers, and engineers. More efficient use of societal resources. You like socialism after all.
