[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the meeting at Flora Singer this week Taylor said the DCC was a good idea but its “flaw” was not including the “white, wealthy schools.” I’m not sure what he thought he was achieving by sharing that perspective, other than saying the quiet part out loud as is clear from this entire process.

That blew my mind when he said that. Then claiming that placing the IB magnet at BCC was to help diversify it. FFS man, read the room.[/quote]

Taylor is so full of shit.  In the new presentation, MCPS says there will be 30 – 60 Regional seats and 15 – 25 Local seats in the criteria based programs like IB. Even if most of those seats don’t go to rich, white kids from Whitman, those numbers won’t shift any demographics significantly.

The perception is that 3/4ths of the non local seats would go to schools that are “less wealthy” “more diverse” DCC schools. The reality is the actual kids likely to come from those “less wealthy” “more diverse” schools for this program are probably the ones who are demographically and economically similar to the BCC kids.

Not necessarily demographically, but economically, absolutely. You expect well-resourced Black and Hispanic families to take advantage of the programs to send their kids to the Bethesda schools. And honestly, you can't blame those parents given how poorly managed the DCC schools are.[/quote]
