[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My real objection is that the BOE isn't making an education a focus or doing anything to improve actual outcomes of kids. Re-arranging the deck chairs will not help anyone other than MCPS. I am so tired of being in a school system that thinks of the system before the actual kids. [/quote] Agreed.. I feel like at this point, it's just a numbers game. Also, I do wonder what this would do to Title 1/Focus school funding and class size. Is it better for low income students to be surrounded by wealthier higher performing kids in a class size of 28, or is it better for such a child to be surrounded by many lower income kids but in a class size of 15 or 18? Has anyone taken a look at that? I am well aware of the study that found that low income kids do better when the FARMs rate of a school is about 25%. But, I don't know if that study also looks at class sizes.[/quote]
