SES Integration is a farce it just hinds mediocrity or supplements it until it goes away. Even if it did help a couple of individuals I doesn't move the needle about systemic poverty for those left behind and the backfill.

Also every single study takes poor kids in failing schools and puts them in rich successful schools. MoCo schools are similarly resourced and the poor ones actually have more. You would literally taking kids out of tough situations and putting them in tougher spots with less and expecting them to keep up with the best resourced students in the county. Sure a couple of poor kids would rise to the occasion but poor kids rise to the occasion at their home schools too.

The people clamoring the loudest for mixing of the schools seem to be the same silver spring parents demanding more seats of enrichment at their local schools to make sure their middle class kids get everything they need. What could be fueling them to feel so strongly that putting them in class with mostly other middle class kids would be so enriching? The stench of hypocrisy is strong on this board[/quote]

All the credible studies disagree, but you're certainly entitled to embrace fringe theories.[/quote]

Show me one that transfers poor kids from one middle class system school to a different school in the same middle class system.  Go for it I’ll wait[/quote]

Dozens have been linked here in the past few weeks repeatedly. If you haven’t seen then it’s only because you intentionally prefer ignorance. In the unlikely event you are sincere you can easily find them by searching. [/quote]

I have read them and they are not what you think they are. They are either urban studies or cross systems. But it sounds like you have you mind made up so I am not sure why am bothering. Do you really think sending 75 Latinos and 25 AA to BCC is going to help Kennedy?  Or sending 100 white kids to Kennedy?
