[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those like me wondering how the Post is not covering this issue... apparently they are too busy covering DCUM. 🙄

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/dc-urban-moms-school-segregation-study/2021/03/31/8320b6e4-9160-11eb-a74e-1f4cf89fd948_story.html

I had thought pretty well of Brookings Institute but this study is so ridiculous. Thread on the DC schools page since for some bizarre reason they focused only on the DC schools discussion despite the fact that there are tons of education pages here let alone all the other topic groupings.

Hannah Natanson (a Post education reporter) said it was too far away to cover but she was keeping her eye on it. I haven't yet taken the time to email her back arguing that the time for the public to be informed was while they were making the plans not when they were getting ready to implement them.

Other people can feel free to email her.[/quote]

Too far away to cover the math issue?  Fairfax County Virginia is too far from Washington DC?  WaPo can't survey parents and students in FCPS or those who know the system?   beyond that the WaPo could read actual FCPS statistically valid longitudinal studies on cohort groups with and without full day kindergarten or 1 or 2 years of preschool.   It could review actual curriculum [like old backback dumps] and see what parents provide because FCPS does not.  And what about Perry Stein the writer of the article on The Brookings Institute study of this anonymous message board?  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/dc-urban-moms-school-segregation-study/2021/03/31/8320b6e4-9160-11eb-a74e-1f4cf89fd948_story.html

“The corollary of well-off people concentrating in certain schools is that poverty is concentrated in other schools,” said Vanessa Williamson, the study’s lead author. “One of the challenges of segregation — beyond the moral commitment of living in a multiracial society — is the fact that it results in resource hoarding and that is unfair.”

Without further reading the drivel what is the resource hoarding of public money? Or does Williams mean private $ for afterschooling [by parent or tutor or parental provisions of materials] or $ paid for a schools PTA?

Resource hoarding and FCPS.  Obviously none of these researchers would like the results on those preK and K studies. Nor would they like the per pupil costs and program budgets.  Subjective conclusions that fit the spin don't match objective information.[/quote]
