[quote=Anonymous]I didn't understand what this oped was recommending in terms of specific actions by MCPS. Yes, the County is wildly segregated economically, which also translates to racial and ethnic segregation. I don't know if the school system is the right place, or the most effective place, to address that societal problem. And I don't know HOW the school system would even begin to solve it - you can't randomly assign students around the county in hopes of producing a demographic balance that is more even. The other thing that struck me about this article was the contention that there are more FARMS kids in MCPS than in DCPS... which actually contravenes the author's argument. MCPS produces better overall results with a diverse and less wealthy population than DC does -- which seems like a sign that MCPS is doing something right... No?[/quote]
