[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

Then FCPS needs to fix the schools---but that requires effort and attention.  Instead, they want to shift them to hide the problems.

But, I'm interested in how you would fix this.  Specifically.   Which neighborhoods would you move if you were on the School Board to fix this?

research shows that there are tipping points with school performance and poverty. Those tipping points are at 20% and 40% according to the study produced for the school board. Concentrating a lack of poverty has knock-on effects on the rest of the county. A board concerned with equity should look at distributing the poverty more evenly across schools. Of course everyone knows that will never happen [/quote]

People may object from being moved to a different school because the government decides their demographic is needed elsewhere.[/quote]
