[quote=Anonymous]Ward 6 parent who has posted many times about lack of a middle school in my neighborhood here -- I totally agree with Jeff. While the Ward 3 parents seem excessively hysterical to me, I can't see how any of these plans address the issues faced by my neighborhood schools, and honestly don't see why Ward 3 should have to make any changes other than those few small boundary changes needed to redistribute kids from overcrowded schools to schools that have traditionally been seen as less desirable (Hearst). The city-wide lottery for HS seems like crazy talk. We need magnet programs in HS and MS that will draw reluctant parents in to a neighborhood school with a bad reputation -- specialized programs in larger schools that serve all students. I went to a school like this when I was growing up. HS with a terrible reputation, added AP and IB curriculum, and managed to draw in parents who were afraid to come to the dangerous part of town.
