No not really. Most of us are not arguing we should be able to go to a w school while living elsewhere. What we are arguing is that the policy of allowing a few schools to be so highly concentrated with non-FARM kids means that FARM kids end up far too concentrated in other places. If instead the county worked to try to mix those areas more then you would end up with schools that are 80% FARM kids which simply does not work well. The county's policy of leaving the SW corner isolated means that more schools elsewhere become unworkable for middle class families because the FARM level at them becomes so highly concentrated.

Personally what I would ideally LIKE is for my kids to be able to go to the school that is around the corner from us - but since it is on the far left side of the graph OP posted that is simply not going to happen. But that is a choice the county makes - not simply a natural consequence that can't be tackled. [/quote]
