[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The degree of wealth and education is not the same. East MoCo has more populations than West MoCo who lack the background, education, money or time to insist that their kids do their homework and pay attention to their teachers.

You left out desire of parents to prioritize their children's education. My elementary-aged kids like to visit libraries all over MoCo, so we've been doing this for years. We've probably been to 80% of all libraries in the county. One pattern I noticed in the kids section no matter where we go -- the vast majority of kids there are white or Asian, even when the demographics of the surrounding area is not like that.

It's not a cost thing. Libraries are free, open long hours (all are open as I write this, in fact), and many are easily accessibly by public transportation. All MCPS students can ride Ride-On for free.

Of course, going to libraries is not required, and there are many other activities children can do to improve their knowledge, but we see this consistently on our library trips and it seems like a sign.[/quote]
