I know, I know!. Instead if putting down the number of whites.  Why not give us the numbers of African American and Hispanic students? Because those are the numbers that count towards diversity.   Not the overacheving Asians.  Even better, what we are REALLY talking about is FARMs rates for schools.  Socioeconomic diversity.  Since you have your finger on the statistics button, let's pull up the FARMS rates for those same schools that you are touting as so diverse and compare them to RHPS and RCF.   Seems to me you are afraid the great bussing experiment will be coming to your school soon so you are touting your upper income schools as diverse.  Everyone knows the truth.  Time for every elementary school to have some skin in the game.  Either have more schools bus like RHPS or let the NCC RHPS and CCES people finally have a neighborhood school instead of little kids biased miles away to the next town where their frienships get ripped apart and parents struggle logistically handle how to best deal the conflicts in schedule.  Thise are the things that should discussed along with the new middle school. [/quote]

Nobody is touting the schools as "so diverse". The allegation was that the schools are "lily-white". The numbers show that they are not.

You can pull up your own numbers here: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/sharedaccountability/glance/[/quote]

Wrong.   Diversity is both race and socio economic.  You are playing with the use of one phrase out of a whole 5paragraphs ro try to detract from the main point.  You must be an attorney.   Focus on one thing to try to discredit the complete picture.  [/quote]

OK, then, who was touting the schools as "so diverse"?[/quote]
