[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Granted, as a kid, I may not have been privy to adult conversations about this but when I see myself and all my friends agonizing over where to buy a house and the feeder schools associated with different neighborhoods and the pros and cons of each, I just can't remember parents of kids in my generation doing this. I swear back then people just bought a house they could afford and reasonably liked and the kids just went to the school closest by and that was about it. What created all this angst over schools and their performance and restructuring whole family lives (geographically, financially) based on schools? [/quote] More data is available. Way more ESOL/FARMS kids in some schools. Greater disparities between the academic profiles of different schools, even in prosperous counties like Montgomery. This focus isn't going away any time soon.[/quote]
