[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More than 30% of MoCo population are foreign-born. More than 50% MCPS K-2 students are FARM. Imported poverty is real in MoCo. [/quote] Over half of MCPS K-2 students are Free And Reduced Meals? That doesn't make sense.[/quote] It makes perfect sense. I haven't checked these numbers for MOCO. But in Fairfax, there is a bulge of poorer students in the system. FARMS rate is 34% for all students there. My elementary has gone from 18% to 22% last couple years. Public schools are not going to be what they used to be, at least in the DC area with its county-based systems.[/quote] It makes no sense. Students are not meals. Students are people. In addition, most of the K-2 students from low-income families were born in the US, not "imported".[/quote]
