[quote=Anonymous][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.

My parents spent hours on the bus going to work (before they could afford a car, but the drive was still long) just so their kids could live in an area with better schools. We were poor, but my parents saved and got housing where the better schools/neighborhood was. As a parent, my first priority is my own children and not yours (though I might have empathy for them).

You're bragging about being such a great parent because you made sacrifices in order to send your kids to a school where 3 out of 10 kids, including 1 out of 5 White kids, graduate not proficient in math and where 1 out of 4 kids graduate not proficient in ELA?[/quote]
