Where is the MCPS response to this?!

If you read the opinion piece, instead of just the headline, you will realize that the author is not actually saying that MCPS schools are no longer so great. Rather, he is saying that MCPS is not doing as much as he thinks they ought to be to make sure that the poor brown and black kids in eastern Montgomery County get as good an education as the rich white kids in the "W" schools.

And I'm assuming that you don't support his proposed solution of boundary changes for better demographic and economic integration -- or do you? [/quote]

I think this is a great idea.

[b]I have kids in the western part of the county [/b]and I'm appalled at the entitled, NIMBY, narrowminded view of many parents.  It's a public school system and [b]little Larla should have the chance to experience the range of human experience including working class people[/b].  I wish our schools weren't so divided along SES lines and would welcome a change of districts - make the high schools more horizonal across the county!

Why do you live in the western part of MoCo if you want your child to experience a range of SES at school?[/quote]
