[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Balanced schools are better for everyone. End of conversation. Personal preferences are not in play. Stop thinking your opinion or voice matters more than anyone else’s.

Google how many times MCPS has shifted boundaries in the last 40 years.

Spoiler alert - it’s  131 times since 1984. Public schools belong to everyone. No one gets to pick and choose who does or doesn’t go to a school. That’s lunacy.

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has changed school boundaries 131 times since 1984, as part of 92 separate boundary studies. Roughly two‑thirds of the changes were tied to opening new schools or adding capacity (additions/expansions), rather than standalone redistricting for other reasons.[/quote]

Cite your data. Research shows this curated diversity is good for WHITE students but not so much for everyone else. Why do you think Wootton wants to stay together?[/quote]

Cite your 'research'. And what is the point of your Wootton example? But before you answer that question check their demographics first.[/quote]

The research says the opposite of what the PP is claiming. Kids of color benefit the most from desegregating schools.

Here is the research I referenced earlier in this thread: https://tcf.org/content/commentary/housing-policy-is-school-policy/

Building on the strength of the random assignment of children to schools, I examine the longitudinal school performance from 2001 to 2007 of approximately 850 students in public housing who attended elementary schools and lived in neighborhoods that fell along a spectrum of very-low-poverty to moderate-poverty rates. In brief, I find that over a period of five to seven years, [b]children in public housing [/b]who attended the school district’s [b]most-advantaged schools[/b] (as measured by either subsidized lunch status or the district’s own criteria)[b] far outperformed [/b]in math and reading those chil-
dren in public housing who attended the district’s least-advantaged elementary schools.[/quote]

In addition to race, there are also studies about socioeconomic diversity.
