You don't mean "the performance of MCPS can be maintained." You mean "the test scores of MCPS students can be maintained." Given that test scores strongly correlate with SES, [b]it's an open question [/b]whether MCPS truly was a better school system in those halcyon, long-past days when everybody was white, middle-class, and suburban, than it is now, when many students aren't.[/quote]

Open Q for you, not for many. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and I don't think I'm the only one who considers it an open question.

In any case, the county is no longer homogeneously white, middle-class, and suburban, and even if those were the good old days, [b]I don't see much point in yearning for them.[/[/b]quote]

PP here - I agree with your last point. Whether people consider the changing dynamics of MCPS an open question or not is irrelevant to many families. What they need to understand, howeer, is how the MCPS as a whole is changing and make informed decisions they feel comfortable with. [/quote]
