[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad I found this forum.  Now I know that DC could grow up and attend Trump University or Tri-Valley University and still do very well.  Why should we be bothered about the school or the peers when my kid could can reach their potential irrespective of the educational institution they attend?[/quote]

You are comparing unaccredited fake universities with MCPS public schools. You are apparently saying Whitman is Harvard and Wheaton is a fly-by-night correspondence college.

Wake up: all MCPS schools hire the same teachers and pay them the same, share the same budget, and have the same curriculum. Your rich school down the street is actually not an institution of its own.[b] It is part of MCPS[/b].

True.

And there are existing rules. For example, school boundaries exist for a reason. If you want to change it, of course in most cases some people may be happy and some not.

The attitude of many posters here is: the change is for the public (who is this "public") good, so any opposition view is not valid, selfish, on low moral ground, etc.

Come on! People's own interests are at stake, yet some people here want parents to think about "public good" instead of their own interests?

Apparently BoE members are not that out of touch. Little tweaks? Maybe. But most likely nothing significant would happen. [/quote]
