[quote=Anonymous]"my opinion is that it would be nice if Montgomery County public schools were not so segregated by race and income. High-poverty schools are bad for the education of poor children. " +1 I don't want to go to a W school; what I would like to see though is less extremes where the county permits schools like the Ws to have like 90%+ kids not on FARMS and other schools the exact opposite rather than proactively try to mix them more. You can then provide in school the right targeting of rigor to the various groups that are ready for it, but you would also have a broader parent pool to pull on. Given how lop sided the county currently is you could start that process by qualifying FARMs kids to be eligible to go to schools that have extremely low FARM rates and bus them (voluntarily) to those schools.
