[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, there are some people that sadly think that 1970s style busing works. It doesn't and was a disaster in the 70s. However, regardless of whether you want to engage in a large social experiment that failed once, there is no approved ecumenic and racial busing program in place at MCPS. The voters have never voted for this. People moving into the area have no knowledge that this is part of the program.

It only being done as a hidden opportunity in some random areas which is unfair to those students effected. It wastes money and more importantly is done under the table.

If you and your MCPS buddies think 1970s busing is the way to go then campaign on it. Bring forward a proposal to be voted on! Be hones and upfront

You can add it to your lets protect pedophiles program to keep administrators who allow offenders in schools from being fired in schools platform. Better yet, add it to the we embrace mediocrity and its all about the bureaucrat slogan. [/quote]

You are a moron PP for equating the idea of busing and MCPS protecting pedophiles.

MCPS is already busing kids.  Fallsgrove to RP ES.  Just because the area is well to do doesn't mean it's not busing.  This isn't about social experiment. This is about making things equitable for kids - getting kids out of portables and spreading out resources.   When you have one school with more lower income kids than another, but the school doesn't get anymore funding because it's not a Title 1 school, then the resources at the first school is spread thinner because the lower income kids may need more services.  When you have busing going on at non wealthy schools but none at wealthy schools, then it's not equitable and leads one to suspect that the W schools have more political clout.

I'm starting to think the conspiracy theorist about the W schools might be on to something now.[/quote]
