[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of agenda do you think it is  - you make it sound nefarious?  [/quote]

I don't think it is a nefarious agenda, but perhaps a misguided one having to do with intermingling the charter and traditional schools systems, neighborhood preferences for charter schools, controlled choice rather than one by-right neighborhood school.  For sure she is a tireless advocate for improving education for the most disadvantaged kids. This is laudable but I fear that the ideological may outweigh the practical and that middle class families ( black and white ) who have only started to trust the school system and believe that they can live  and thrive in the district will be chased off with policies that strip them of choice and control over their kids' education.  If  people  sense that their kids are being used as pawns in a scenario to improve education the most disadvantaged INSTEAD of fixing what is broken in the school leadership and dysfunctional system, they will evaporate from the city schools in a heartbeat.  And that's when everyone is worse off.  It's a fine balance and I hope she can walk it.
