[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]

People swear up and down that MCPS is just one school system.  Why isn’t MCPS providing a good education at EVERY school as it is.[/quote]

Try again. Your premise is wrong. You think the school 100% determines a students abilities, work ethic, and skills. It is there to develop those, but if counterproductive forces are at home.... or lack of discipline at the school.....[/quote]

Most recent research out there shows that schools account for very little individual variation in school outcome (<10% at most) . Unless a school is absolutely horrible (which, whining on this board aside, none of the MCPS schools remotely qualify) there just isn't that much difference.  So, the SJWs getting up in arms to "fix" everything by shipping kids to "good" schools are bound to be disappointed.  The "racists" worrying about their kid being sent to a "bad" school are worrying unnecessarily.   At the end of the day though, all of this isn't going to change a thing.

One example: https://www.chalkbeat.org/posts/us/2019/04/01/selective-high-school-research-new-york-city-boston/

"But studies looking at the test-in schools in those cities and in Chicago have found that students receive little if any measurable benefit from attending them. Students with similar qualifications who attend high school elsewhere end up with comparable SAT scores and college admissions offers, they find."
