[quote=Anonymous]I support Dan Reed in trying to promote more equity in the county, but I do think he is a little behind the times. The truth is that, with the skyrocketing housing costs of 2000-2007 or so, and with the current continued recession, there seem to be many more middle and upper middle class families in some of the formerly "red zone" schools. Even on DCUM, there was a time a few years ago when it seemed hardly anyone said anything positive about Silver Spring schools, and now you see lots of people touting Flora Singer, Forest Knolls, Oakland Terrace, etc. I'm not saying everything has been fixed, but when it costs half a million dollars to buy a basic home in the county, you are going to see more middle and upper middle class folks on the "wrong" side of the county, and the schools will likely improve.[/quote]
