[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It shows a lower penetration rate of whites attending MCPS than in the past. Whether they left or didn't even bother, amongst whites, a smaller percentage than before are attending MCPS. [/quote]

It's suggestive; it sure isn't definitive. It shows data from 2011. Comparing grapefruits (teenagers) and tangerines (high school students). What's more, it's two data points. Two data points are not a trend.

And even if it were definitive, then what? White families in Montgomery County are increasingly disinclined to send their children to MCPS high schools, and so therefore...? The author of the blog post supported rezoning to include more poor kids in rich schools, allowing any student to attend any school in the county, adding Sherwood to the NEC and B-CC to the DCC, eliminating home schools in the high school consortia, building more affordable housing in Bethesda and Potomac, and making it easier to build and add units in close-in neighborhoods. Do you support those things?

There are one or more posters who feel if the county doesn't cater to every whim of the affluent they'll take their ball and play elsewhere, Perhaps in a few cases this is true, but it seems more of someone's personal agenda than a fact-based reality. The data being presented is thin at best.[/quote]
