I think it’s a giant crap shoot. MoCo isn’t so essential to the region that people faced with an unattractive option in MCPS can’t and won’t look elsewhere. I agree with this. The DCC zealots that all think they will benefit from taking down the Bethesda, Potomac or Rockville schools will be in for a big surprise. Dropping the property values and pushing the higher earners out of the county is not going to make Silver Spring suddenly attractive. Lessor areas only do well when the more desirable ones become too expensive so people are forced into the next level down. When the top falls, the bottom falls faster. As individuals, they won't benefit in the end. They will enjoy much higher taxes to make up for the even larger shortfall. That you think this involves a "takedown" of these schools really says a lot. [/quote] Except that this is EXACTLY what the DCC zealots think. Its about taking down the "W" schools and making their own school more white. These people do not give one hoot about diversity. They love that Blair CAP is all white and fight to keep magnet spots for white kids whether they score the highest or not. They jockey to separate their kids from the local poor populations creating schools within schools. Its a very ugly group that is pushing this and it has nothing to do with helping lower income AA and hispanic kids. [/quote]
