[quote=Anonymous][i]In Brooklyn, many families, affluent and poor, were happy with their placements when they were announced last spring. But 45 children were assigned to Charles O. Dewey, the middle school Sophie is attending, who had not included it anywhere on their ranked list of choices. Enrollment figures indicate most of those students did not show, moving to private or charter schools, or perhaps leaving the district. The percent of kids from priority groups enrolled in Dewey’s sixth grade class went from 95 percent last year to 92 percent this year.[/i] Some people will go where they are assigned, at least at first and give it a chance. Many people will refuse to attend an assigned school that they didn't want at all. They move, go private, homeschool, whatever. The anecdotes provided in this article are encouraging. System-wide, it will take a few years to for the picture to start to become clear. [/quote]
