[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh that makes sense, everyone should just get to pick which schools they want to go to!

Just stating the facts.  At the MOST overcrowded elementary school in the county, one that has been consistently overcrowded for more than 10 years, kids are bused in from a few miles away.   They drive past 2 other elementary schools once of which is under-capacity by over a 100 students.    [/quote]

If MCPS does a boundary study, and you show up to say that the solution to Rachel Carson's capacity problem is to send the poor kids who currently go to Rachel Carson to a different school -- people might take it the wrong way.[/quote]

Well at our ES the richest kids come from miles away, past 3 elementary schools and I would like them redistricted.  So would they.  It doesn't matter who they are, what they are, the amount of $$ they have or don't have.  The boundaries for many of these over-capacity schools have got to shrink.  They are all over the map because builders keep building and schools are not being built for them.

[b]The fact that the kids furthest away from RC are "poor" by some people's standards here on DCUM should not matter.  They pass a school at 70% capacity with the same SES level as RC.  [/quote][/b]
