[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a school want to increase its FARMs rate?[/quote]

Because it is better for society.[/quote]

Can you explain in concrete ways? I’m a fifteen-year veteran teacher in MCPS and, while I’ve taught in schools with high to low rates of poverty, I have never heard of this initiative. By the way, I’m a double minority and grew up poor so I support FARMs and other supports for low income students. Do you mean trying to get already attending students whose families meet the criteria enrolled in FARMs? [/quote]

It is most important for society for everybody to be educated. I don't have kids in MCPS anymore but I still pay taxes for education, why (besides I have to) .. because I am paying to live in an educated world/society/neighborhood.

Of course we would need a course in the law of deminishing returns but there is s value to having done FARM in each school instead of segregating but I think there is a saturation point on both ends of the scale.

That's not concrete. But I think 0 FARM is not good,100% not good.

Some want more FARM because class sizes are smaller. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about not having schools that are all or nothing.[/quote]
