Yeah, and my kids go to one of the diverse schools in the BCC cluster and half of the white families in the neighborhood won't send their kids to the school because there are too many poor and minority students. I think his article had some great points and his solution is a nice idea, but totally unrealistic. The minute you start changing the boundaries is the minute white people flee MoCo. Sad but true.

I mainly appreciated the opinion piece for its honesty in calling out the problem.  The solutions to the problem are not so easy.  I get tired of hearing a constant refrain about how "great" MCPS schools are, when clearly, there are some real challenges for MCPS.  The main response to any criticism from MCPS seems always to be "we're so great! look at our national ranking" and never an admission, that, hey, something is wrong when you have massive failures on county-wide math exams, or MSA test scores fall pretty dramatically across the board.
