[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all students are capable of high achievement.  
There. I said it.[/quote]

And not all kids have parents that will do the work to push them to what ever their full capabilities are. Rich schools simply have more parents who push and facilitate their kids at a higher level. Expecting the schools to pick up the slack is unrealistic. Schools are a piece not the solution and if we are being honest not really as important as many people make them out to be, its one path of many.  [/quote]

Actually if you remove the low income kids from the segregated environments with high percentages (but still a minority) of disruptive kids, their academic performance improves significantly. Most parents with low incomes care immensely about their kids' education but the environments we put them in are not conducive to learning, both because of segregation and because MCPS shuffles the worst principals to the schools where parents have the least time to make a stink about it.[/quote]

So your answer is bussing [/quote]
