[b]Over-capacity is the PC way of saying desegregation. [/b]

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, teachers be provided the autonomy (and respect!) to do what's best for their students.

Uh huh. Tell that to the parents at Ashburton ES and Rachel Carson ES.[/quote]

And if you look at the school's stats, there are few students labeled as FARMs at the two ES.  This means that students will most likely be zoned for other elementary schools with some space.

QO and WJ are the high schools into which these schools feed.  WJ, as we know, is fairly close to the DCC, as the boundary wars have already begun.  Remember that Woodward is in the picture.

QO is surrounded by Watkins Mill, Seneca Valley, Gaithersburg and Northwest HS.

What's described as overpopulation is just a code word for busing.[/quote]

I feel like I'm arguing with somebody who is insisting that 2 plus 2 is actually 3.[/quote]

I'm not arguing. I'm telling you.

I've spent over 20 years in the system, experiencing the growing pains when the NEC and DCC came into existence.

I don't care if you don't get it.  I know I'm right.

Continue to live in your bubble.  I'm out.[/quote]
