[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take a compass and draw about a 5 mile radius around every W school and see who really should go there. Boundaries are currenrly artificial based on political power.

Of course boundaries are artificial. Unless each school is situated on its own island, the boundaries will remain artificial regardless.[/quote]

Yes, they were gerrymandered 50 years ago. Segregation was still a thing back then.[/quote]

Which specific areas of Bethesda and/or Potomac were gerrymandered?[/quote]

All of them. Just take a look at Wootton's boundary. Half the people assigned to it live closer to another school.[/quote]

Preach! We should move all of them to the school they're geographically closer to. Oops, now nobody attends Wootton. If only I had the mental capacity to figure out what is going on here.[/quote]

That's easy. The boundary was gerrymandered to keep out poors when it was created back in the 70s or 80s. Segregation was still a thing back then.[/quote]

What exactly do you mean "that's easy"? What's easy?[/quote]
