[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oops, forgot the TPMS map. No jerrymandering. Just a boundary that makes sense and has a ton of walkers. http://gis.mcpsmd.org/ServiceAreaMaps/TakomaParkMS.pdf[/quote]

I though Silver Spring was all about reaching better SES mixing and diversity ratios at the expense of walkers? Diversity busing is ok for the Ws but just let Takoma Middle have artificially suppressed ratios because walking is important? Why is Takoma so much lower FARMS than all the other East County Middle schools? hummmmmm can't be racism because that doesn't happen there right?    [/quote]

This is such a weird argument to make. TPMS has a 40 percent ever-FARMS rate, and logical boundaries. It's like you have this hellscape vision of what the eastern side of Montgomery County is like, so you assume the TPMS boundaries must be badly jerrymandered if it has a FARMS rate of under 75%. In reality, the TPMS zone (and the elementary feeders) are genuinely diverse from an economic standpoint, with a mix of poor/working class families, and middle class/upper middle class families. I don't know why you find that offensive, but it's actually a pretty nice place to raise a family. [/quote]

The poorest kids in Takoma Park outside of the Maple Ave apts go to a completely different HS cluster Northwood and you call that "logical boundaries"? My god white liberals don't even realize they are the biggest hypocrites and the biggest hoarders of diverse areas resources.     [/quote]
Again, this is simply not true. All of the ESS elementary school kids who go to TPMS also go to Blair.[/quote]
