[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh OK.  I'll put it all together for you.  We got the notion that MPCS was going to start busing from the BOE, the superintendent, the former MCCPTA president and some of its current officers, posts from woke progressives, and from these two: https://s19499.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/featured-image-mcps-boundary-study-walter-johnson-300x234.jpg

They've said they'd like to balance adjacent clusters. They haven't said anything about "going to start busing" beyond that.

But you keep on with your delusions. They seem comforting to you.[/quote]

Of course they won't say they're going to start busing.  Busing was a disaster.  But a rose by any other name is still a rose.  And moving kids from one school to another to race balance the schools is still busing.  So "balance adjacent clusters" = busing.  Luckily, the boundary analysis shows that 85 to 95% of Montgomery County doesn't want anything even close to busing.  What they really want is to be left in their current schools.  Schools attend by poorer families would probably say they could use some more resources.  And despite the fact that these schools already receive millions of dollars more than schools in wealthier areas, I still support giving them more money.[/quote]
Balancing adjacent clusters by moving students an 1/8 of mile hardly rises to "busing" as you've been using it. Unless anytime a kid hops on a bus it's "busing".  :roll:

You're just trying, again and again, to stir controversy where there's none apparent. MCPS does plenty of things to get up in arms over, but this isn't one of them.[/quote]

Exactly and in many cases it's moving people to closer schools like kids being bussed to Wootton or WJ who live much closer to other schools.[/quote]

Yet no one wants this.  If you look at the boundary analysis starting on page 107, you'll see that MoCo is in lock-step on wanting to remain in their current schools. [/quote]
