[quote=Anonymous]There are no easy solutions. That is why they have not been implemented. Bussing accomplished a lot of these goals in the 1980s but it does depend on spreading out disadvantaged students which is harder to do the larger of a percentage of a whole that they are and which can leave them socially isolated and/or feeling like outsiders in the schools they attend. Lower class sizes at Title I and Focus schools make sense, and MCPS has put a lot of resources into making that happen. That should mean that teachers have more time with high-needs students who haven't had all of the enrichment and cultural knowledge/preparation of wealthier peers and that bright students with less family support don't get lost in the shuffle of a huge classroom. But it seems like it's not enough to fully off-set the challenges of poverty. [/quote]
