[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you live in a small town that only has one high school, isn't this happening in every city/school district across the country?

Even that small town would need to have 1 elementary, 1 jr. high.

I grew up in a small town. My small town had 5 elementary schools that fed into 1 jr. high and 1 high school. When I went to elementary school in the '80's, our school was the "poor school" and you bet the town people knew what were the good (rich) schools.

When we were all combined in  jr. high and high school, we were still segregated - just this time based on what classes we were taking.

I do understand the author's point, but this isn't a unique problem to MCPS. It's happening all over the countyr.

I would think that the problem is just much more dramatic in Montgomery County because it has 150,000 students, including some of the very wealthiest in the nation, as well as the very poor. It is less likely that a small town school district has these extremes.[/quote]
