[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, send more kids with middle class and rich parents. Save Herndon.[/quote] Save Herndon from what? From higher per-student spending than Langley? How is sending kids with middle-class and rich parents going to help kids from poor parents? Are the middle-class kids supposed to tutor the poor kids? Follow them home, make sure they do their homework, feed them breakfast? Keep them out of gangs? Teach them English? All your plan will accomplish is (1) artificially raising student test scores at Herndon and lowering them elsewhere, and (2) drastically lowering the property values of homes that get shuffled to Herndon. Poor students will not fare any better (and middle-class students will fare worse, as the teachers are incentivized to focus on the poor kids rather than the average/above average ones) and houses zoned for Herndon won't increase in value. Great plan, comrade.[/quote]
