[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me it would depend on what would be the goal of such an effort? If it is to alleviate over crowding, I am all for it. If it is for "diversity" than forget it. I dont want my kid bussed across the county to some gang school. FWIW we are in RM cluster, not W[/quote]

Which school or schools are gang schools in your opinion?

The one we moved away from, Watkins Mill. I would also include Gaithersburg, Seneca Valley, SS schools.[/quote]

What a snob you are. Did you have a child who actually attended any of these schools?  My children are students at one of the schools you listed. They are not afraid to go to school. There are not gang fights in the hallways. My relative's children recently graduated from Watkins Mill, where they were involved in a lot of activities and enjoyed their high school experience; their kids were not afraid to go to school, either.

There are plenty of students from good, caring families at the schools you listed, and teachers/administrators who care about their students. If you wanted to move away because you didn't want  your kids to go there, fine, but don't put down a school you don't have any experience with.

Its funny as RM was not a good or nice school when I was growing up.  It was one to be avoided.  If they truly think RM is better, good luck to them.[/quote]
RM of today is so not the RM of 20 yrs ago.  It has a gs rating of 8.  You might say it's the IB program but the MS feeder school JW, which doesn't have a test in magnet program, has a GS rating of 9.[/quote]

More rich people move to the area so now its well regarded and yet other schools are bashed.  RM has had some very serious issues and incidents.  But, yes, lets just cover them all up and pretend all is good now.  Not a chance I'd send my kids there.[/quote]
?  Because W schools are without incidences?  I've read about a few, and know someone who definitely knows that many of the issues at those schools get covered up by wealth parents' money.

And to the other PP who stated it's just the IB, you totally disregarded the second sentence about JW being rated 9.  But since it doesn't fit into your narrative, you just can't accept it, can you?[/quote]
