[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not pp but I’ll tell you why all schools should be diverse. Because the opposite of all schools being diverse is all schools being basically homogeneous. And when all schools are homogeneous, the schools that are white/Asian end up with better resources than the schools that are black/Hispanic. They have PTAs that raise $100k a year, they have dozens of after-school activities, etc. Meanwhile at the poorer schools, teachers are forced to send out GoFundMe’s to their family and friends to supply their classrooms. It’s called “separate but equal,” and it never really ended.[/quote]

There are no high schools in MCPS that are homogeneous.  They do have different types of diversity and more money gets spent on the schools with more poor, black and Hispanic kids, who benefit from being part of the same county-wide system.

It is interesting that any discussion about increasing diversity among local schools quickly devolves into a complaint about income distribution.  The discussion about school boundaries is just a proxy for leftists who want to redistribute family wealth more than educational resources within MCPS. [/quote]

It's interesting that you interpret "let's analyze boundaries to see whether we can reduce overcrowding and increase diversity through boundary adjustments" as "let's take money away from rich people".[/quote]
