[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I doubt less-advantaged populations are wringing their hands because they only have a few classmates with wealthier parents. Teachers, principals and staff still help the kids get a great education.[/quote]

Here kids, we're going to take you from your neighborhood with your crowded apartments and send you on a bus for where you have to get up earlier and ride thirty minutes minimum to a school where many kids have their own cars.  Your job is to teach them what it is like to be poor.

Here are some real world examples:

You play football at your current school?  Good you can play at your new, wealthy school.  Oh, you don't have a car to get home from practice?  That's okay.  You won't miss playing football--you might get hurt anyway.

To another kid:  you have to get home to watch your little brother after school--or get him ready for school in the morning?  I'm sure your mom can work that out.  Maybe, she can find a different job.

You may think this is a joke--but it is not.  This could quickly solve the overcrowding problem.  It's difficult enough already to keep these kids in school.

much better to keep kids with kids like them. Sure some schools are failing, sure are barely accredited and produce demostrably worse outcomes with absolutely no expectation of culture of success, but the don't have to ride buses. Separate but equal - maybe that can be the new FCPS motto[/quote]
