[quote=Anonymous]I don't think rezoning or busing children around is a solution, because to me the parents/guardians is the key to the children's success.  My family came here from a poor country in Asia.  When we came, none of us was able to speak nor understand any English.  My mother worked as a helper in the kitchen for a restaurant that was owned by a man from our country.  My farther worked as a janitor.  They were always busy, never had time nor any ability to help us with homework.  However, they always reminded us that we have to study hard in order to have a better future.  I when to Falls Church High School in FCPS which had very high number of low income kids.  I always hung out with kids from my country because we could understand each other and since we were all new to the country.   Our friends' parents also expected them to do good in schools.  So we helped each other learning and learning.  After all those difficult years, all of us finished college and have good jobs.  So my point here is that doesn't matter what the county does to help these low income or new immigrant students, their parents have to value the education, and remind them to work hard in school in order to be succeed.  They don't need to be near rich kids to do better.  Some rich kids also have problems of their own too.  By the way, I'm a W school parent.[/quote]
