[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Also a URM here, and racism is indeed a reality in Fairfax County. Every time a school board member has reassured the public in a live meeting that boundaries are not changing (during the recent MGT boundary consultation, for example), they were s[b]pecifically addressing their racist constituents who choose schools to avoid URM/poverty populations at all costs.[/quote][/b]

Get rid of programs that allow parents to pupil place:  IB, for one.  Also, has there been any study done on the immersion programs?  Does this encourage PP for reasons other than a great desire for a foreign language?  Do many kids leave for AAP?  Do many PP in high school in order to continue the language?

I am sure there are many parents who pupil placed their kids from less desirable schools to more desirable schools through these special progams such as language and AP/IB. The AAP is another option for qualified students.  But is this necessarily bad?

For parents who cannot afford to move to a better school district or send their kids to private schools, this seems like a good option. [/quote]
