[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I have nothing against new programs in schools and if that is the direction OP thinks the county should take -- they should make these comments to MCPS. However, let's not kid ourselves. People aren't actually concerned with under performing schools -- they are concerned with preserving boundaries.[/quote]

Please note that different people care about different things. [b]People from high-performing schools don't necessarily care too much about low-performing schools ([u]why should they?[/u])[/b]; while people from low-performing schools don't care that much about the preserving boundaries.

So if we can make changes that satisfy both (groups of parents), why not?

I care, because I am a human being who cares about fellow human beings.

I care, because good-quality public education is a basic human and civil right.

I care, because these are the people who will be paying into social security in the future.[/quote]

Of course you can care. Not all of your reasons work (e.g. "low-performing school" does not mean "bad quality public education". It can also mean that the students simply do not perform well) but you can care, no problem. I am simply pointing out, that this is not a necessity.
