[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These will be the leaders. If your neighborhood is zoned to something that makes you unhappy with, quickly get in your private school applications. Expect to be unhappy bc the equity train trumps all other concerns.[/quote]

What specifically do you mean by "equity" here? What do you think MCPS is doing to promote equity?[/quote]

Compare A, B, C and D borders for Woodward and WJ and it will be crystal clear for you.

When new option(s) come out next week, it will be closest to the most “equitable” of those 4. [/quote]

Why do you put "equitable" in quotes? What does "equity" mean to you and what are the competing priorities?[/quote]

I love how equity has become something worth scoffing at.  Try to remove yourself from the situation (imagine your kids are already adults so you don't have skin in the game).  Wouldn't you want a school district to try to treat all students equitably?  Would you like to live in a society where people don't have equal chances to succeed, and it's anticipated that kids growing up in poor neighborhoods would remain poor or even get poorer as they get older?

Not all neighborhoods are poor that go to the schools without a lot of offerings.  [/quote]
