what those of us with common sense know, the school environment doesn't matter it's all about the parents/home environment
taking 100 low income kids to a higher income school won't do jack for most of the lower income kids period
DCUM: The school environment is very important! (When it comes to spending $$$ to make sure that your child goes to "good" schools.)
Also DCUM: The school environment doesn't matter! (When it comes to potential boundary changes that would reassign more kids from low-income families to "good" schools and/or reassign DCUM kids to "bad" schools.)

All I'm seeing a lot of excuses to justify continued segregation that results in some kids getting a lesser education than others.
The top students currently at the high Farm schools will no longer be the top students if they are moved to the low Farm schools. I don't believe that this is helping anyone.
What an assumption.
Seems like some people are determined to find excuses to justify status quo segregation.
The likelihood of being a top student would of course decrease, but a blanket statement that none of them would be tops on the new school is unjustified.
This is absolutely not true. People forget that many of the top kids in the DCC are kids of professors and scientists and fed lawyers. Still coming from households that are affluent and prioritizing education. Absolutely wishful thinking that these kids can't compete with the W kids of two big law parents. You guys are in for a rude awakening when your snowflakes go to college LOL and are competing with students from all over the country. Hilarious.
+1 No one would argue that there are more kids from less educated families in the DCC. But the "top" kids? Pretty similar demographically to the "top" kids anywhere else in the county. In terms of educational backgrounds of the parents, there are more similarities than differences.

I was top 3 in my elementary class. Junior high, more like top 20.
Math. Not shade.
As long as it is acknowledged that the top performers in the wealthier schools will go down too due. Otherwise it is shade.

You're defending 40-year-old school boundaries.
A lot has changed in Montgomery County in 40 years.

Apparently some needed that explained.
I have accepted that many find thinking either too heavy a burden, or an impossible task.

Except those top students may now have access to more advanced classes and a bigger high performing peer group.

So you insist that boundaries are drawn to send some children to schools with good teachers and others to schools with bad teachers then?
