[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate when rich educated people pretend that poor performers will magically become top performers by getting bussed to schools with high performers.  What a hoot. Where in the world has that ever happened?[/quote]

I hate when people claim that this is about test scores.[/quote]

[b]It’s about academic performance.[/b]

And yes, at some point coddled kids in america are going to have to compete. There will be high performers, mediocre ones and low ones.  [/quote]

But MCPS boundaries are based on residence, not academic performance. Any boundary changes would also be based on residence, not academic performance.[/quote]

As of last fall, the BoE voted to prioritize diversity over the other criteria when making these decisions. [/quote]

Exactly - I saw that in the paper and read about it here. However, it seems like a lot of people are in denial.[/quote]

You’re all just arguing about apples vs apples. Most low performers tend to cluster among certain racial groups and tend to live in certain neighborhoods. Most high performers tend to come from households in certain racial groups and neighborhoods. Yes, there are outliers outside of these norms but they don’t represent a large population. So whether the BoE says diversity or academic performance, they are targeting the SAME groups.[/quote]
