Are YOU saying that Latino and Black kids cannot improve their academics unless they're in White schools?
It's people like you, perpetuating racial stereotypes, that are a big part of the problem.
There are no white schools at least there shouldn't be. We live in a diverse county. It's time to end segregation.
Even if you diversify the schools the parents and kids will self segregate. We have a black parent group and Hispanic parent group for those families. The PTSA is for the rest and the more comfortable families but they are a very closed group so if you don’t fit into those groups you are out of luck.
We won't really know until we give it a chance! I also don't like your defeatist attitude and think it's masking for the segregationist agenda
There's been a lot of segregationist agenda showing up here...
Usually couched as "equity is discrimination" and "you're racist if you don't want intercounty busing".
I'd prefer we focus on fixing diversity within MCPS before taking on the state's problems, but yes we really need to focus on the more segregated areas to begin with. It's a journey with many steps and that seems like a good place to begin.
Fixing diversity by removing it. I don’t get the big push towards diversity. I guess you like your kid sitting in a classroom with ten students who will be carrying 9mm’s in a few years or be members of MS13. Every murder in the county this year has been black on black or MS13 related. Is this what youstrive for?
A kid's test score (which we all know is primarily related to inherent motivation, parental education, family life) isn't going to change if you move him from school A to B, if the teachers and academic options in both schools are equal. MCPS knows this but they try to feed us a load of crap. The reality is MCPS wants to diversify schools to reduce the burden on staff/teachers who have to deal with schools that have significantly high FARMS rates. I don't disagree with this strategy. High FARMS schools are a huge challenge for administrators and teachers. They just don't want to say this.
We are a a significantly high FARMS school. A smart kid will do well academically anywhere with good teachers. If there is such concern over guns in the school, we should be advocating for things like metal detectors. The rich and poor schools both have their share of issues. Only difference is the rich parents can sweep it under the table with lawyers who promise things like drug treatment and therapy for the kids.

I tried to change it last year and failed. You can only change things if others, especially those in charge want it changed.

So MCPS should just ignore a huge burden because...?

A dozen homicides in a county of a million doesn't have me quaking in my boots.
and 0 homicides or gang incidents at any public school also makes me believe the poster is a nutjob

Maybe if you had lived near, gone to school with, and built relationships with Black and Brown people, you wouldn't be so consumed with fear and insecurity.

I'm sorry to hear that. That has definitely not been my experience at four diverse MCPS schools.
