If the wealthy people chose other educational opportunities for their children, they would probably either be a different public school system or a private school.  I'm not sure you can pass a law that mandates people to use the public education system.  Across MCPS, every child follows the same cirriculum so [b]it's hard to say that a child in one school district isn't getting the same education as another.[/b]  I don't think people are arguing about the actual cirriculum that is provided (2.0 aside) but it's the other things that the school district really can't control--- parent involvement, peer groups, motivations, family values that place a priority on education.  Busing or forced integratin would be one way to address these issues, but it won't work if one side has the ability (money) to opt out.[/quote]

First of all, all of the schools are in one school district: Montgomery County Public Schools.

Second of all, it's actually very easy to say this. It's so easy to say this, in fact, that people are saying it every single day -- literally -- on DCUM.  In fact, people are saying it right here on this thread. Because if the education that kids get is the same at every school, why would people care whether their kid goes to this school, that school, or the other school?[/quote]
