[quote=Anonymous] I do not care about segregation that happens because of school boundaries. It is not happening because there are different schools for black and whites. You will not change the poor performance of the kids who come from impoverished backgrounds by sending them to "W" schools. That is crazy thinking. You cannot fix the home situation of these kids. Home-life and level of parents education is a very big factor that MCPS has no control of. Here is what I think will work - 1) Send kids to their neighborhood schools. 2) Increase the number of HGC and magnet schools around the county. 3) Fail the kids who do not perform well in ES and MS. Let them repeat the class and put additional resources there to make them succeed. If there is no improvement after 2 years of repeating a class - the parents can pay fees for the child. [/quote]
