[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The unspoken issue and reason for parental alarm is due to a lack of discipline and control in MCPS schools. [b]People in the Ws are afraid that kids from less wealthy areas will come with more issues that could harm there own kids, such as disruptive behavior in the classroom and throughout the school, including catcalling, physical and emotional violence.[/b]

The fact is, MCPS must drop its “no consequences” behavioural conduct system [b]before people in low poverty schools will be welcome.[/b]  Living in this area for years, I cannot believe the issue is skin color. Most of these same residents voted for Ike Leggett and Barack Obama, for pete’s sake. The issue is that if these kids come and bring bad behavior with them, the existing neighborhood schools will suffer.

Wow. Just don't even know where to start.

So, are you implying there are no disciplinary issues at the "W" schools (and should we go ahead and include BCC while we're at it)?

And when you say "before people in low poverty schools will be welcome" what exactly do you mean? Welcome where? In MCPS? In a W school? This is a public school system.

These threads are becoming so tiresome. Are you all even listening to the kids and what they want? Are you hearing what parents are saying? It's absolutely disgusting and saddening.

During a public meeting last week about the yearlong study, some parents raised concerns about students at lower-performing schools not being able to achieve at higher-performing schools and said white families are 'being punished' for 'working hard and doing well and choosing to live in a certain community.'

....

"Tadikonda, a senior at Richard Montgomery High School, said students were 'very, very disturbed and upset' about the comments made during the last boundary study meeting.

'We need to be clear these are the remarks of some, but in no way are a reflection of our values as a school system,” Tadikonda said during Tuesday’s meeting. “[b]Everyone deserves a chance and nothing, nothing, you are born with should limit your opportunities for education and success[/b].'”

Great!

Why don't we give everyone a chance o try out TJ?
Why limit the admission based on test and/or performance? Why can't low performing students have the opportunity to better and more advanced education?
Oh, there are existing standards? Why can't we change them? Everyone deserves a chance and nothing, nothing, you are born with should limit your opportunities for education and success!
