[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moco county was the subject of some research on this issue in the past.  The changes in RHES FARMS/ESOL will have a negative impact on the low income kids who attend that school.  High income SES kids will probably be ok but the low income kids will miss the life alterning cumulative positive measurable effects of attending a low FARMS.ESOL rate school.   http://tcf.org/publications/2010/10/housing-policy-is-school-policy. actual study -  http://tcf.org/publications/pdfs/housing-policy-is-school-policy-pdf/Schwartzppt.pdf.  To my mind that is the only policy issue that matters - how these changes effect the measurable outcomes of the low income students involved.

So, the paddington kids who used to attend bethesda elementary will lose out on those benefits so east bethesda kids can ride a bus to east bethesda or be driven by their parents (as they will not be making that walk across wisconsim).   In 2011, it boggles the mind that low income kids are being kicked out of bethesda elementary to make way for the children of wealth and privilege from east bethesda.

The sad world we live in today might be fine with that result, but please do not pretend that the kids who are kicked out of Bethesda do not miss out on tangible and measurable benefits.

Do the Paddington kids go to RHPS for K-2 and then to BE?  [/quote]
