[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do parents not want change in this county? I've learned a lot about the W schools and how parents don't want minorites at their schools. I believe our students are attending schools not parents.. so why does it matter who our students go to school with?[/quote]

You are a student so your parents decide where to live and send you to school.  Your parents also have to work so they can purchase  food and clothing to feed and dress you.  Your parents are also responsible to pay rent or mortgage to provide a shelter so you have a place to sleep.  We do the same things for our kids.  When we send our kids to school we trusted the teachers and school admin who provide our kids education.  We dont care whome my kids go to school with.  However, I expect stability so all my kids could attend our neighborhood school.  I cannot speak for all the parents, but I know most of the parents, no matter skin color, want their kids to go to a neighborhood school.  It happened in Gaitgurburg and Rockville.

I am a minority and live in a W school district.  We purchased the house after considering commute routes to jobs.  Before we moved to the W district, we lived in Germantown.  We chose the current location so our kids can walk to school and we can go to their school for daytime clssroom acitivities.  My kids have friends who are black, brown, and white.  Kids play together when they have common interests.  At ES level, no one cares your skin color.  As a minority parent, I found it is harder to join conversition as an immigrant  parent than US-born parents because the culture and language barriers.

Maybe there are other parents in W schools don't want minority in the schools but there are a lots of minority families already live in the neighborhoods and send their kids to the W schools.  In MCPS, there are more hispanic students than white students.  White students are also one of minority student groups.
