Is this really something you say when face to face with people?[/quote]

It does not stop being true because people struggle not to say it.

We are actively destroying MoCo magnet system.  If we keep it up, in 10 years there will be no more competition to study at the magnet because there will be no value added.  People with well-prepared kids will instead struggle to buy the smallest apartment districted for a decent school.

As a nation, we need to stop attacking our best public high schools under the pretext of achievement gap.  The attacks won't fix the achievement gap.  They will, however, result in even less upward mobility for non-legacy middle class kids whose dedication and perseverance has the best chance of maintaining our long-term economic sustainability.

The way forward is more mini-magnets or tracking in all schools starting with the earliest grades.  That will make neighborhood school education competitive for a normal, often lucrative, career.[/quote]
