[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The Bethesda magazine just published an article and the students seem to agree that  part of the problem is due to resources:

“Northwood High junior Kaylah Tengeya said students at her school — with a minority-majority population and 75 percent of students eligible for free or reduced-price meal plans — are often at a disadvantage because teachers have fewer resources to help students.”

I think adding more teachers, more resources for the students, and even the parents, would be  better than bussing the students around.

I agree to an extent, but I still think it’s worth looking at boundaries to balance crowding. Case in point above- RCES is overcrowded while neighboring ESs are underenrolled. Some simple adjustments in the boundaries could balance them out without making students commute much further.

[b]Is anyone really suggesting Northwood students get bussed to the W schools? [/b]Heck I live in silver spring and I absolutely would not want that.  There seems to be a lot of panic about “bussing” but I’m not sure how much of it is founded. [/quote]

No. (Except when Northwood HS will be at the Woodward building while the Northwood building gets rebuilt.)[/quote]
