[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]In any case, it doesn't matter what the distance is. You're saying that people who live closer have a better claim to the school than people who live further. MCPS doesn't work that way, and MCPS shouldn't work that way.[/quote] [b]There is no logical reason why school assignment shouldn't be determined by distance.[/b] MCPS needs to stop playing social policy games and start running the schools. This is stupid. [/quote] Of course there is a logical reason. In fact, there are at least three logical reasons. 1. It's mathematically impossible to set up school zones such that every student is zoned for their closest school. 2. Running public schools is social policy, by definition. 3. The educational outcomes of poor students at low-poverty schools are better than at high-poverty schools.[/quote]
