[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is exactly why we need the kind of re-districting and bussing that the BOE was analyzing before they scrapped the plan. PTAs at rich schools are always going to do their thing. Rich parents will always find a way to pour whatever money they can into their DC's school. We can only make it more equitable by reallocating these rich families across the county schools so that they begin to enrich the poorer schools too.[/quote]

There isn't enough rich people to sprinkle around MCPS like some rich aunty blessing for all the families who want an affluent upbringing without doing the effort. A Potomac mom isn't going to send her kid to some NEC school in the first place let alone pick that school up by it's boot straps when she gets there. And even if she did the poor people would compline about that rich white women coming in demanding stuff which is the only real way to change culture. If you did get one of the borderline affluent parents  (a big if) who couldn't afford private (dual feds looking at you) they would just enrich their own kids with camps, tutors and classes while avoiding the meh school they were stuck in as much as possible until they came up with a plan B.

Jealousy is a horrible perspective to write policy because all you can do is strip out other peoples choices because you don't have one. In reality choices were made long before that got you to the PTA you're aligned with, what did you think the differences would be like. [/quote]
