Where it does work -

"Families can choose to apply to magnet schools, attend their neighborhood school, or sign up for a busing program to other districts."

First you explain why segregated schools are a good thing.[/quote]

Why is this the only reason that there is a achievement gap ?

There are multiple factors such as first generation school attendance, limited English, family situations, lack of extra education supports are just a few. Please explain how busing is going to solve any if that. Spend the money on adding the supports necessary so that kids who need extra help get it not spending money on buses. There is no magic Bullet and it seems that MCPS views it as such. It is a complicated multi layered problem that needs multiple prongs of ideas and action. [/quote]
