[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School digger says 45 percent on farms. But maybe that is old data.

No dog in this fight but there are plenty of neighborhoods with feds and professionals zoned for Einstein. Yes some poor kids for sure but you are really cherry picking demographics.

No matter, I absolutely love the anti Einstein DCUM poster who gets so outraged on the every thread! So funny. [/quote]

It also says 68% have been on FARMs recently[/quote]

No, they don't post data about people who have received FARMs "recently". At Einstein HS in 2016-2017, 42.2% of students were receiving FARMs, and 68.1% were either receiving FARMs or had received FARMs in the past. Conventionally this is referred to as "ever FARMs".[/quote]

Could we please stop equating "having benefited from the social safety net" with "irredeemable person who I wouldn't want my child educated alongside?"

Lots of people receive (or received) free or reduced meals. The children of your nannies almost certainly receive free or reduced meals. The children of a first-year MCPS teacher could qualify for reduced meals. Poverty is not contagious, and having benefited from free or reduced lunch does not make a child inherently worthless, or worthy of avoiding.  [/quote]
