[quote=Anonymous]People oppose boundary changes because they realize it will be ineffective.

Simply busing a lower-performing kid to a higher-performing school will not mean that the student him/herself performs better.  It might mean that it makes MCPS look better.  From experience, we know that MCPS now only does things to help it appear like it closing the achievement gap, when in reality, it’s not actually closing anything.

So, people are opposed to wasting money on yet another useless initiative that will degrade an already declining school system.

If MCPS really cared about it’s students, MCPS would focus more on smaller class sizes for all grades, and focus less mixed-gender restrooms.  It would focus more on showing that ALL students are showing improvement due to their time at school, and less time on having unrealistic expectations about closing the achievement gap.

A good, solid elementary school curriculum would go a long way in helping ALL students.  Hopefully we get that this year, but the last 5 years were a disorganized disaster.

MCPS likes to take band-aid approaches and focus on unimportant initiatives.  Instead of focusing on the classroom, and the teachers, it spends money on useless Central Office positions and endless ‘forums’.

We see how poorly MCPS spends money and don’t trust MCPS and/or the BOE to do what is in the best interest of the students.[/quote]
