[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in favor of taking care of the most vulnerable. [b]Bring back the low income and IEP kids and others identified by staff[/b], spread them out over all the schools and the rest of us somehow manage because we are decent human beings and we take care of the weakest amongst us be they physically at risk of dying of needing extra resources to learn.  Accept that maybe our kids won't get every single advantage to which we think they are entitled but they will still be ok and maybe the gift they will get is understanding that we rise or fall together.

WoW - it is funny how upsetting you find kindness. [/quote]

PP’s response wasn’t appropriate but do you understand that perpetual DL isn’t really an option for many, especially the disadvantaged? It seems like your heart is in the right place but you are considering only the educationally and medically fragile and not the economically or socially disadvantaged.[/quote]

Except that I explicitly said those kids should be included. See bolded. The idea that everything should be the same for everyone is a big part of the problem. [/quote]

It didn't used to be such a radical idea that [b]all [/b]kids need school.[/quote]

Don’t be obtuse - of course all kids need school, but when there is a scarcity of resources how do you allocate them? There is a significant set of children in MCPS who are fully able to get an adequate education with the current DL and support from Family members. There is another set who cannot get an adequate education by those means - so if we don’t have the resources to teach them all optimally, why not direct our resources to those most in need while the others get good enough. What I’m advocating is putting your money where your mouth is an accepting something slightly less so that others can have their most basic needs met. I find it funny that all of a sudden everyone here is so deeply concerned about the underprivileged. My children have more than enough - why is it that others like me can’t give a bit for the greater good? The elephants walk at the pace of the slowest member of the herd. [/quote]

In other words, separate but equal?  Pretty sure that’s unconstitutional. [/quote]
