[quote=Anonymous][quote]It is also not the school system’s job to keep boundaries static for the sale of property values.[/quote] I'd agree but then you can't turn around and try to bus higher performing kids from high value places into a low value/low performing school to bolster the rankings, increase property values and raise the SES of the original low in boundary areas. This is only displacing poor people and giving a quick win to MC/UMC whites who bought less expensive property. You also can't advocate to bus poor kids out of your cluster to bolster your own own property values. Your self interest is in raising your raising your property value at the expense of another area. Considering that the residents of the other area already paid the value for their property while you got a discount, you are basically hoping for a windfall at someone else's expense. This is human nature so don't feel bad but it has zero to do with educating anyone. Regardless it IS NOT the school system's job to manipulate who lives where or play into your real estate dreams, it is the school system's job to educate anyone who walks in the door. If MCPS would start focusing on teaching rather than game playing, it wouldn't get embroiled in the real estate nonsense. [/quote]
