[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]the goal of MCPS is to eliminate the achievement gap. [b]You do that by spreading out the higher and lower performers equally to all schools so everyone floats to the mean[/b]. The goal is to have average schools everywhere no more good or bad schools[/quote] Parents on this boars are being deliberately obtuse. [b]Pushing for socioeconomic diversity in schools leads to better performance outcomes (definitive study cited upthread). Full stop.[/b] Show me in the data that it *reduces* outcomes for some. For the last 50 years, parents have used arguments like the above, or other which are appallingly classist or racist to 1) fight against integration, economic or racial and 2) justify white flight. [/quote] It's hard to believe anyone could be that dense, but it's deliberate. You are right and the county should figure out how to do this.[/quote]
