[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just personally think that it shows low moral character. There is a family that I generally like and I know that they do this and this definitely causes me to think less of them.

My child would be so upset about this she is honest as can be. I can imagine her walking into school on the first day and just blurting out I’m supposed to say that I live at 21 Main St. but I actually live at 34 Cherry St.!!![/quote]

No it shows you care about your kids education and it's not your fault you cant afford a $2M house in the zone you're trying to send your kid. Maybe if school districts made all the schools high quality instead of only the ones that serve the wealthier enclaves parents wouldn't be reduced to having the low moral character of trying to get high quality education for their children.

Yes, exactly, schools are "low quality" because school districts don't do enough, not because we tie school funding to property taxes and penalize schools for not being able to pass standardized tests that are really just a measure of SES as a means of keeping them hypersegregated and underfunded.  :roll: [/quote]

In Moco the funding is the same. The issue is concentrated poverty. Thee best way to alleviate concentrated poverty would be busing but rich parents basically bring out the pitchfoiand torches whenever that is suggested.[/quote]

1. Actually, some MCPS schools do get more funding per pupil.

2. It's not just "rich" parents. I am nowhere near rich and don't want my kids on a bus for more time than is necessary. It's already a pain to get them up and out the door on time. I really don't need to add a 30 min + commute to that just so my kids can mingle with a bunch of privileged kids and come home asking why we aren't going to Europe for spring break. I like that our school is located in our physical community. [/quote]
