[quote=Anonymous]edit - Teachers SHOULD be provided

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If rezoning does occur, the issues facing transportation will become a logistical nightmare[/b], especially with the magnet school trans patterns.

I think people forget how powerful money is in these cases - not school system money, but family money. Those who can afford million dollar homes in high SES areas can also afford private school.  Others with means may move - and even if it's a stretch, many will make the sacrifice.

Perception is everything.[/quote]

A logistical nightmare to increase an area's effective school capacity by rezoning some students in an over-capacity school to an adjoining, under-capacity school? How so? And if so, how come DCUM has been yelling for MCPS to do just that for years?[/quote]

Over-capacity is the PC way of saying desegregation.

funny thing about this situation . . .

the "understanding" that minorities will benefit by being sent to a school that's either majority white or high SES - That's the blanketed message no one wants to state out loud.

The issue is not resolved through busing. This is a simplistic approach that's part of the "blame game."  Kids should not be made ashamed of their home school, yet this is the message we're sending by examining this approach.  Instead, [b]teachers be provided[/b] the autonomy (and respect!) to do what's best for their students.
