[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the meeting tonight, there's a poster on Students Not Assigned To Closest School -

ES: 37% of students in MCPS do not attend their closest school
MS: 45% of students in MCPS do not attend their closest school
HS: 38% of students in MCPS do not attend their closest school

That's CURRENTLY in MCPS.

Those are the boundaries that people want to maintain because they want "neighborhood schools."[/quote]

Those are students already assigned to schools based on diversity.  Parents want to maintain the diversity that they already have. Good to hear parents support
diverse schools. [/quote]

Huh. Because one of the things I have never, ever, not once, heard even ONE person say is, "I oppose the boundary analysis because I support school diversity."[/quote]

Then you haven't been listening.  [/quote]

Nope. I've been listening. Because I don't want long bus rides. Because I want to stay in my community. Because I don't want my kids to go to bad schools. Because I want neighborhood schools. Because the traffic is bad. Because it will lower my property value. Because I chose to live where I live. Because diversity is dumb. Because it's a housing-policy problem, not a school problem. Because schools should focus on education. Because there isn't segregation. Because I worked hard to get where I am. Because the poor you will always have with you so why bother. Because the Board of Education is evil. Because [bigotry]. All of those - yes.

Because I support school diversity - no.[/quote]
