[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, I didn't realize just how massive the variation in EML/FARMS is between high schools right now, and these options barely touch it (even option 3, which looks like it does the most to balance those factors, still has really large disparities)...[/quote]

It is not up to schools to social engineer this.

You are right. We shouldn't intentionally keep the richest Kensington families in SFHs separate from the lower income ones in the apartments on University. Social engineering is what is currently happening.[/quote]

Exactly. That Town of Kensington carve out for those rich mostly white students to ride a bus all the way to Walter Johnson when they could WALK to Einstein is somehow not social engineering? [/quote]

They cannot walk to Einstein.  Most parts are 2-4 miles and not safe.  [/quote]

It’s probably closer to 2 miles but I agree the area across Connecticut and University is not walker friendly and is a traffic nightmare. The crosswalks are horrible and the sidewalks are narrow.  And there are plenty of kids who are lower income who live in the TOK in the apartment buildings there and aren’t living in SFHs. So don’t act like you understand the demos of an area when you don’t. [/quote]

Only a small part is under two miles.  What sidewalks?   We have very few.  You walk it the street.  The tok apartments aren’t really low income.  Of course I understand it, you don’t.  I’ve lived here many many years. [/quote]
