[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]they were trying to achieve more racially diverse class. [b]it sucks if you have smart white/Asian kids.[/b][/quote] No. It rocks if you have smart white or Asian kids and live in an integrated neighborhood, actually. The only people impacted are the people who have been claiming for years that their schools are the only ones in MCPS worth attending, because of the "peer group." Now that the kids have to go to middle school with the same peers, though, it is suddenly the gravest injustice since Jim Crow. [/quote] The whole point of the magnet was to convince rich white parents to opt into desegregating depressed schools on the poorer side of the county. It was the carrot on the end of the stick. The other half got jealous that they weren’t getting carrots so the county had to cook the books to hand out some carrots to URMs. Just remember Banneker is a “magnet” school too. That might be where the level falls to at blair.[/quote]
