[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about blame. But I am suggesting we shouldn't be investing resources in this option program that tries to boot strap itself based on inflated FRL stats. [/quote]

Should we be investing resources in ANY school that doesn't support, educate, or accommodate low income students? [/quote]

What can we invest in schools so that they educate all income students, not just the affluent and low income?

The wraparound services concentrated at Carlin Springs, for example, should be available and strong at all schools so that every school is able to adequately serve students from all economic levels.  All schools should be able to adequately meet the needs of special education and ELL students, not encourage them to go elsewhere because their needs can't (or won't) be met.

The PPP focused on accommodating low-income students.  The PP then included affluent, suggesting a focus needed on middle income students.  The best way for a school to be able to accommodate everyone is to have a healthy mix of "everyone" at each school.  So, we can invest in transportation.  We can invest in community-building across different populations.  We can invest in decision-making to serve the interest of being able to accommodate everyone in every school rather than decision-making based on the affluent protecting self-interests.  How about quality, effective teacher training for all teachers across all schools?  And invest our excessive PTA energies and resources on those things rather than on "more and more" for one school, which serves students and teachers based on affluence.

You are right.

I move that we close this thread. 68 pages is enough to beat this horse, until the next inspiration hits...[/quote]

I second![/quote]
