[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Option 3 fails at doing what it is supposed to do, which is equalize FARMS rates across HSs (at least).  The reason it fails is because 1) people segregate and will continue to do so, and 2) Whitman is far away and needs better housing policy.

We could have had a conversation about what WOULD actually help in the context of the school boundary study (e.g., not housing policy), but instead here we are.[/quote]

I don't think any reasonably informed person has ever had the expectation this boundary study would equalize farms rates across HSs

Next[/quote]

and yet Option 3 is supposed to at least focus on that.  I will agree, though, that Flo/BOE/MCPS is perhaps not reasonably well-informed.[/quote]

I agree with you that Option 3 is much more balanced than people.seem to believe. In Option 3, the majority of neighborhoods are assigned to a nearby school.[/quote]

I disagree with that.  Or rather, the other options focus on geographic proximity (I think it is actually Option 4).  So geographic proximity is maximized (in comparison to all options presented) in Option 4, not 3.[/quote]

I didn't say geographic proximity was maximized by Option 3. That's like me saying I disagree with your statement that Option 3 makes kids travel to Russia for school.[/quote]
