[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Neither Howard or anywhere in NOVA is looking at plucking out neighborhoods of kids based on their race and income to bus them past 1 or even 2 schools to balance out diversity. [/b]When NOVA and Howard talk about changing things its using a dial approach where they may slightly expand or shift but its nothing radical. They know that their residents wouldn't tolerate it and unlike MCPS seem to care what their resident things. They also seem more intelligent than MCPS in understanding that bussing was a failed experiment which led to more not less segregation.

MCPS has a long history of stupidity and never listening to its residents, parents, teachers, students, history or data. They already have examples of creating strange boundaries to send a small ES of white kids farther away to a lower performing school. Their proposal of options for Seneca Valley show that they are more than willing to send an ES like Darnestown past not only QO to NW but then past NW to SV. They tried to pluck out a few neighborhoods in northern Gaithersburg and bus them down to Wootton but the Gaithersburg residents who were going to get bussed objected. MCPS was pissed off. Internally, they were horribly patronizing toward the GHS parents whining that they just didn't know what was good for themselves. No one -rich or poor- wants bussing for their own kids. This initiative is coming from a small echo chamber of internal MCPS people, Elrich's crew in Silver Spring and some idiots in the DCC who think they will somehow benefit financially.

MCPS will do it whether it creates a disaster or not. There is no accountability here. From their behavior during the whole 2.0 debacle, its also clear that they will not change course once its even more obvious that it isn't working and causing more harm than good. [/quote]

MCPS isn't looking at that either. Read the RFP.[/quote]
