Where are going to find the money then to champion your so called causes?

You mean the Social Injustice Warriors ignoring that education isn't equitable.

No that is so outdated. They are now moving wealthy kids to poor schools.

same insane principle applies though that somehow adding "higher" performing kids is going to help the "lower performing" kids

that's what's so insane to me and others. The lower performing kids will still be lower performing which I think is the actual thing we should be focused on, how to improve the lower performing kids.

The BOE is relying on studies that indicate low-income students do worse at schools with highly-concentrated poverty. It makes sense the BOE wouldn't want a better learning environment for kids who are struggling, but I also understand many parents are more interested in the potential impact on their property values than an equitable education.

Education is equitable, same curriculum, teachers, same facilities, the outcome is not equitable. Majority parents are interested in good education and school climate for their own kids, there is nothing wrong in that, that's why they are busting their behind to live where they live.

A good solution would be to break the county into two smaller counties. It's just too darn large. Montgomery County would consist of everything East of the Red Line running next to 355. Everything West of the Red Line would be West Montgomery County.

Or even better North and South, but the thing is this isn't legal.
