Are you for real?  Do you genuinely not understand that people pay more for houses in [b]certain school districts[/b]?  It's not about entitlement, it's about getting what you pay (and scrimp and save and sacrifice other things) for.  [/quote]

It bears repeating, from a different poster: you did NOT "pay for" a particular school. You paid money to a seller and to a realtor. You did not make an agreement with the school system that your boundaries wouldn't change, that your demographics wouldn't change, that your class sizes wouldn't change. This very disclaimer is on the MCPS website: "MCPS has made substantial efforts to ensure the accuracy of the [school boundary] information. However school service areas are subject to change. Also school assignments may be unreliable for residents in new subdivisions or residents near a school service area boundary."

But go ahead. The louder the cries get from the "we paid more for our houses so we deserve better schools" crowd, the sooner the county council and Board of Ed forces some kind of change to create more equitable schools.[/quote]

And PP, there are no "[b]school [u]districts[/u][/b]."  There is ONE school DISTRICT.  One.  Singular.  It is MCPS.  Your kid at a W school is in the SAME SCHOOL DISTRICT as the kid at Kennedy.  [/quote]
