[quote=Anonymous][quote]Just because redrawing those boundaries such that it evens out the FARMs a bit won't raise test scores, it doesn't mean that evening out FARMs is a bad idea. [/quote] You something more than evening out is not a bad idea to divide and disrupt communities. No one -poor or wealthy- wants to be the island that gets chosen for forced bussing. Whether the issue is logistics, time, transportation, neighborhood continuity, not wanting to go to a lower performing school or whatever it is never popular for the area that is affected. There has to be a very compelling reason to inflict harm on a community. I don't disagree with you that there may be other reasons to engage in forced bussing but letting MCPS hide poor performance, raising money for MCCPTA, or spreading out disruptive kids who should be sent to a special schools with much higher security or interventions instead of mainstream classrooms are just not compelling reasons.
