[quote=Anonymous]Balanced article that seems to understand all sides.

I think the proposal embodies all the right ideas, although I do have some questions about individual details. I'd like to see it go further, actually, to provide greater relief to certain high schools. Also, some schools have profiles that change significantly, while others (River Hill High School rushes to mind) have very little change to their overall profile. That does feel a little uneven.

Since River Hill stands to send some students to Wilde Lake (which will only be 38 percent FARMs under the proposal - which really shouldn't scare people so badly - but I digress), there's ample yelling from people who imagined they were safely tucked within a very expensive new development and all but guaranteed a place at River Hill. I get it, I really do, but at the same time: cry me a river. I have a hard time being totally sympathetic with "don't break up our 'community'," when your community is defined by a single socio-economic profile. Maybe the boundaries of community need to be revised.[/quote]
