[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Public school education and its funding in Montgomery County is based on apartheid like in South Africa. Proxies and surrogates abound -- zip code, red and blue, up and downtown. This is black and white...no PhD in statistics necessary. [/quote] Actually all schools in America are based on an apartheid model. If you live in a middle-class or higher neighborhood you go to a good school thanks to local taxes. If you live in a poor area, you go to a crappy school. We're probably the only country in the developed world that uses this model and its not wonder a rich country such as ours has so much entrenched and growing poverty. MoCo at least tries to even the playing field a little bit by distributing the tax base to all schools. If they didn't do this we'd all have much greater problems. Still disparities exist due to PTA fund-raising disparities. [/quote]
