[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also would view Einstein as being in the strongest Region- with powerhouses Blair, BCC and Whitman. How can that be a bad thing?[/quote]

Because Einstein folks want the home school to stay strong. I have zero desire to cart my child to Whitman. Being in a region with Whitman is not a plus for me.[/quote]

But it’s not just about you, PP. it’s about all the kids. Some will really benefit from the opportunity to go to Whitman, BCC, Blair or Northwood (they do have a wonderful theater program). Some will be better off staying at Einstein. Perhaps your chances of getting into Blair improve under this model too.[/quote]

Placing highly qualified teachers in wealthy schools and siphoning off high achieving students (but only the ones with cars or that can swing a long commute) from low income schools does not help all kids. On the contrary it helps a small number of kids and hurts the majority.[/quote]

+100

Locating the most rigorous, most sought-after programs in the highest SES schools, as they're doing in Region 1 (not sure about the others) is so backwards.[/quote]

Adding on - not only highest-SES schools in terms of student demographics, but also the most resourced schools in terms of current course offerings.[/quote]
