[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do all schools have to have poor kids? Why cant a nice corner of the county simply keep to their own? Ok so town boundaries don't have to be respected so does that mean we can ignore county boundaries too?  How about sending some of the really poor PG kids to Rosemary Hills to give them a leg up? It is all about and better for the kids right? Or does resource grabs only work in one direction for the disenfranchised?

Why are people entitled to move to a nickel area and expect dime piers in the better neighborhood?  You guys are simply going down the rabbit hole DC went down and their "best" High School (Wilson) has a 25% dropout rate. Which pretty much breaks down the whole the poor kids do better when dropped into rich schools.  All you really end up with is administrations that scramble to keep the troublemakers penned up and away from the rich kids. Even Blair fluffs the numbers by importing the best and brightest and the regular kids might never even meet a magnate kid. [/quote]

Town boundaries are not relevant in a county-based school system. You betray the fact that you see black kids in Montgomery County as just as little a part of your community as kids in PG county. Plus, you spelled magnet wrong. [/quote]
