[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If rezoning does occur, the issues facing transportation will become a logistical nightmare, especially with the magnet school trans patterns.

I think people forget how powerful money is in these cases - not school system money, but family money. Those who can afford million dollar homes in high SES areas can also afford private school.  Others with means may move - and even if it's a stretch, many will make the sacrifice.

This is not really true. People like to say this because they feel it gives them leverage, but in reality it would better serve the public good to be rid of these leeches.[/quote]

Whoever you are, you have made multiple posts in this same nasty vein. I get it, you're poor and angry.  The rich aren't the leeches, they pay the majority of the taxes we all benefit from.

I'm not rich but upper middle I bring resources to my kids school that is a brood mix of SES.  I make the class parties happen, I tutor kids who need extra help in the halls and I use my connections to bring money from local businesses to our school for all the kids. I have kids of all SES and race at my house to play every week.

You betcha your @$$, the public school would miss parents like me.  And I am considering both private and moving because I am worn out.  MCPS has really gone down hill, the curriculum, the overcrowding, the focus on mediocrity.  I am watching any rezoning with a side eye, knowing it is the final straw.

I'm not the only one on my peer group who feels this way.  Many have already moved or left for private and their presence is missed as the load fall on fewer and fewer parents who have the time, desire or resources to fill the void they leave behind.  I'm burned out and comments like yours make me excited for my kid's interview next week.  Let all the involved parents with resources, time and heart leave and you"ll find out who.the leeches are.  Hint: it an't us.[/quote]

TLDR it's high time we end segregation and chase these privileged leeches from our county![/quote]

Class envy is a poor look.  I would point out your attitide is why you aren't successful in life.  Chase out the money in the county that pays for everything, especially the schools, and it will be one big ghetto, but I guess that's your comfort zone.  [b]Bye now, I've got things to do. First on my list:  volunteer.[[/b]/quote]

Yeah, while you sat behind your computer like a loser hurling untrue insults, I spent my afternoon with three Spanish speaking kids, working on vocabulary.

Sorry you can't see the truth that taxpayer money is what funds the schools. 
When you have less affluent tax payers because they flee, you have less tax dollars and less tax dollars means less resources for everyone in the school system and disproportionately will hit the poorer students the hardest.  Sorry if you don't like truth, if it doesn't fit your world view.  I tend to be pragmatic and see things how they are and not how I wish them to be.[/quote]
