[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The part that people confuse is that the schools are representing a demographic trend. The DCC is rapidly becoming poorer and concentrated minority, Bethesda has always been mostly high SES and white. There was a time that most of MoCo was white a middle class. MoCo isn’t becoming segregated, it is becoming majority minority starting at the cheapest parts and spreading from there. [/quote]

This is an important point as the growing Latino population is a new trend that is growing rapidly. Montgomery County can prosper with a growing Latino population but it needs to learn how to actually raise the scores of this growing population not hide their failures by sprinkling high SES white or asian kids around them. It serves no one to pretend a school is good when 40% of the school's population is failing. I get so sick of the UMC DCC parents thinking that if they could just get more white families to move in the scores will go up and everything will be great. The non-white and non-asian kids are still failing which leads to more poverty. Newsflash - while the non-white and non-asian kids may not failing you are really fooling yourself if you think they are doing great academically in this situation. They aren't but parents judge academic talent based on how well the kid is doing in comparison to others. UMC DCC parents get a real boost from having their mediocre kids on top while the minority kids are at the bottom. As the demographics change the scores will just sink lower and real estate will stagnate unless the school system starts actually educating its students. [/quote]

The truth makes you sick? I get sick by people who stick their heads in the sand and pretend to see rainbows. So we are even [/quote]
