[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a public school in NY that pretty much had all these things. When schools are town-based, in wealthy areas, and funded by local property taxes, the local community can do this. The small number of disadvantaged kids in the zone get the benefits, too.

None of the VA “good” districts are all that because of the county funding models.[/quote]

Exactly. Our Nursery - 8 school reminds me of the public schools I attended in affluent and not-so-affluent New Jersey towns and townships. Yes, there are better facilities at our school - I’m still shocked to see the outside basketball courts with 6 hoops, so more can practice shooting...But the real difference is th that the teachers love teaching, the administration is responsive, and my children have truly blossomed there. As for the story that these schools are less diverse, [b]this school is much more diverse than my local public in MCPS[/b]. [/quote]

I guess that you live in a highly segregated part of Montgomery County. Why?

Also, in what way is it more diverse? Is it less white, or is it more white?[/quote]
