[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my old Title 1 elementary school, I noticed there were a lot of white non-Latino families in lower grades and few or none in upper grades. [b]I wnoticed most of the PTO parents were PreK and Kinder parents and by the time their kids got to 1st or 2nd they were gone via lottery.[/b] It honestly kind of annoys me that people come in trying to change the school but leave when something better comes up.

It got me thinking, what if, as a condition of accepting a Pre-K lottery spot, you weren’t allowed to use the lottery until Middle School, forcing you to commit to that school (or move)?

I’m not at all saying this should be the rule, I’m just curious what would be the outcomes, intentional and unintentional? How would you play differently if this was the case? [/quote]

I’m guessing they ran against no one and did their best for the school while there. Chasing out these types or, honestly, even resenting them is *so* self-defeating.

I think the most direct result of this policy change would be people unwilling to try schools and immediately moving to the burbs. You know, how DC was less than 20 years ago.[/quote]
