[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP, it's not quite fair to say the only thing you could do to help kids in poverty is give them new parents. I thought the [b]research was pretty clear on the benefits of putting disadvantaged kids in smaller classes, and in schools not completely full of other disadvantaged kids[/b]. [/quote]

By all means - put the disadvantaged kids in smaller classes - I am all for it.

But putting your disadvantaged kid in the same class as my high achiever kid, may help your kid, but is actually hampering my child in reaching his full potential.

Good for your kid.  Got that.  Bad for my kid.  Where is the logic of that?

So, by your reasoning, all disadvantaged kids are not smart.

great logic[/quote]

Oh wait!  I thought when you meant disadvantaged kids you meant kids who were not doing well academically.  Sorry, i did not realize that you meant poor kids.

So, how about we give them money so they are no longer poor.  Perhaps make education free for them?  How about free lunches? What if MCPS provides them the with highly qualified teachers? Lets give them everything that a rich kid gets from MCPS to level the playing field?

I have absolutely  no problem with a smart,  academically high achieving,  kid of any race, who is poor being in the same class as my DC.
