[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 18:01 - ha ha! I've posted that link before in other threads, and I'm the poster you are quoting. That scenario only works in small doses. Ie: put twenty kids whose moms receive housing vouchers in Bethesda instead of Wheaton or Silver Spring or Takoma Park or Germantown (where most vouchers are utilized in cheap rent areas with majority low income schools) and those kids will do better...because they are living in a nice neighborhood, enrolled in aftercare with those kids, going on play dates and to parties with those kids and (don't get mad at me now) observing stable two-parent families and the social norms of good neighborhoods. They thrive not simply because they go to school with these kids for six hours a day. Rather, they thrive because they are living in a good neighborhood surrounded by middle class people. [/quote]

There ARE kids like this living in Bethesda, particularly downtown Bethesda and near NIH, where there are cheaper rentals, HOC units and military dependents.[/quote]
