[b]But that is exactly what MCPS is proposing to the whole county[/b]. When a large number of AA and Hispanics cluster up together they form a toxic environment that neither group can succeed in. So in order to rectify the situation they need the presence of white and Asians to detoxify the school environment. That is the exact message that studies after studies have shown. It’s sad that AA and Hispanics can’t seem to get it together enough to create a successful school. [/quote]

No, it's not. What MCPS is proposing to do is to pay a consultant to analyze the possibility of adjusting school boundaries to even out capacity and demographics.

Take your bigotry elsewhere.[/quote]

Sadly, I must agree with the PP that I am hearing the same message as well.  :-(  Moreover, I will assert that neither the PP nor I believe that message to be correct.  Students on FARMs and of AA / Hispanic descent are brilliant, expressive, amazing human beings.  The MCPS narrative that they are unable to succeed unless you add white students to their classroom if offensive.

Eh. The DCUM narrative that your children will suffer and your property values will plummet if there are more poor black and Latino students in  your children's schools - that's what I find offensive.[/quote]

You do not think that is one of the factors why houses are more expensive in Bethesda, Potomac, Rockville etc when compared to Silver Spring or Wheaton?[/quote]

The cognitive dissonance here is enough to give a person a headache. Students on FARMs and with black or Latino heritage are brilliant and can succeed, and anybody who says otherwise is offensive! Also, students on FARMs and with black or Latino heritage will lower property values! Huh?[/quote]

So the only reason the Achievement Gap exists is because they live in less expansive houses and not surrounded by rich and midddle class students?  By the way, after reading all the posts in this thread and others in this forum, I found the middle class white kids in W schools are equially disruptive, disrespectful, lazy and with parents who dont care their own kids.  The only difference beween the poor kids and the rich kids is that the rich families pay tutors so their kids can pass all the test but the poor families cannot.  Maybe MCPS could add a tutoring tax on middle class families so they can hire privator tutor to coach the kids from poor families.  I support diversity in school and would like to see school admin force lunch room table mixing first.  If anyone walk into a high school or middle school cafeteria, you can fine and most of lunch room tables are segregated. [/quote]
