[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the article:
"Nearly all of the more than 400 schools in Maryland that were 99 percent or 100 percent minority were in Prince George’s or Baltimore City, according to a separate analysis by The Washington Post of federal enrollment data. A handful of schools were in Montgomery and Baltimore counties."

Well, the problem with this article is that the population of PG County and Baltimore City is majority minority.  I'm not sure that you can say the schools are segregated.  It's more like the schools reflect the local population.

I hate that the article implies something sinister, as if this is by design.  It seems to me there is more of an issue of self-segregation on the part of all races.

I would add that I think the statistics about low-income have to do with the fact that the higher income people who live in both of those districts, PG and Baltimore City, tend to send their kids to private schools.

I would also add that I don't think it is true that the underperformance of those schools has to do with financial resources.  I believe the amount per-child spent in PG County is the same, if not more, than the per-child amount spent in Montgomery County.

Basically, articles like this I think are somewhat misleading and offer no solutions to the problem of underperforming schools in PG or Baltimore.[/quote]
