[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Balancing the farms rate should have nothing to do with new boundaries.  If you chose to buy in Einstein, you prioritized close in proximity over the school attendance zone.

If you cared about the school attendance zone, you could have bought a house in Poolesville for a similar price as Einstein.  But instead you prioritized close in proximity to DC.

I - like many of my neighbors - chose to use my JD/PhD/MD for public service which means I have to go into work in person and don’t get paid the big bucks to do it. Yet my neighbors who chose to maximize $ think that somehow makes them and their kids more deserving than mine. This is the heart of my disgust with many of my fellow MoCo residents (fellow citizens too but that’s not the subject of this thread).[/quote]

You prioritized commute time over the quality of your kids school.    End of story.  There are many phds that work in public service, commute to DC, and live in Howard County.

DP and yeah, we prioritized time with our kids over sending them to a school with fewer poor kids.  We actually looked at a couple homes in Poolseville and liked the area but would have each had 1-1.5 hr commutes.  Just wasn't going to work.  I had a decent amount of telework for a couple years but that's all gone again and I'm so thankful we didn't move further out, it's stressful enough.  Overall we have been happy with our schools in Silver Spring, the things we've been unhappy with have largely been more at the MCPS level and would have been an issue at a lower-FARMS school too.[/quote]
