[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This blogger uses the variance in the FARMS rate to say that Howard County schools are the most segregated in Maryland.    He doesn't show his numbers though  -- I would have bet on MCPS.

I understand that politicians or reporters would sometimes be interested in this. It can be a controversial topic that can be used to gain publicity.
But in reality, [b]why would a parent care whether the schools in the county are segregated[/b]?

Because segregated schools are bad for the society their children will live in.

And also because many parents care for more than just what's immediately good for their individual children.[/quote]

Uh, no.

I don’t care how segregated, unsegregated, or self-segragated a school is. And that is regarding race, gender, nationality, income level, single/double/grandma caretaker.

I do care that the school maintains high standards, differentiates, and disciplines students when needed.[/quote]

Exactly. And if someone wants to make changes that could potentially be bad to our school quality, I have a problem with that. Even if they claim that the changes are good for decreasing "segregation" or increasing"diversity". The decrease of segregation (and similarly, increase of diversity) is a result of better society, not something you deliberately do to make your society "look better".
