[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High-Quality public education shouldn't be contingent on living in a specific area. Bad and good schools shouldn't exist. [/quote]

There are no bad or good schools, only bad and good students. Any school can be made great if the student body decides so, and no it’s not complicated.[/quote]

I think you have that backward. All the credible studies which have been discussed here ad nauseam indicate that low-income students perform worse in schools with highly concentrated poverty. [/quote]

No in all studies low income students still mostly fail and underperform. They do so in slightly smaller numbers when in schools filled with rich school levels of  kid ratios. Problem is the golden ratios aren’t obtainable in Montgomery County any longer with too many long income minorities are trending towards the majority. At some point a mostly brown and or poor school is going to have to get better somehow without redistribution of white kids.

This is brought to a boil that a few well off areas have maintained rich kid ratios at levels much lower than the rest of the county. The absence of the influx is glaring to the rest of the county as the needs rise quicker than resources.[/quote]
