[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's less crazy.  People are getting used to the new system and have last year's data to draw on, so we don't feel as much like we're flying blind.  A few new schools/classrooms opened last year and this year, and a few new neighborhood schools became viable EOTP.  So I think things are a little better.[/quote]

Curious, what do you think the few new viable EOTP schools are since last year?  [/quote]

NP, I'd phrase it a little differently.  It seems that a number of EOTP schools have become more popular / viable for more years.

Schools like Seaton, Garrison, Powell, West, even some more talk of Barnard, Bruce-Monroe, and probably some others I'm not remembering.[/quote]

NP, I think it's both-- Some such as Langley are now viable for the first time, others such as Bruce-Monroe, Miner, and Seaton are becoming viable for more years.  Stuart-Hobson is making progress and that will flow down to its feeders as well.  [/quote]

Viable for DCUM / higher-SES residents, you mean. [/quote]

Whomp whomp.
Call your au pair to come grab the kids but WOTP elitist Mom has ODed on Kendall Jackson once again.  I mean, it is Thursday after all.

Viable for PreK (free daycare) you mean.  Once parents begin to expect education these schools will all disappoint.  Just look at their scores.  It's nice to have your 3 y.o. play with everyone, but it's downright alarming when your 3rd grader is surrounded by children who can't read at grade level.  Meanwhile, other children who live down the street are literate in two languages and performing well in math and science.  It's not a situation you can bear for very long.[/quote][/quote]
