[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A large number of Wilson’s Hispanics come from Adams. Sending them to Roosevelt would reduce Wilson’s racial and ethnic diversity.[/quote]

So what?

Can you articulate why Wilson requires ### percentage of Hispanic students?   How many Arabic-speaking students attend Wilson?  Cantonese?    Russian?  What is the correct number of these groups, in your worldview?

I really don't understand why we as a city get fixated on the "Diversity Pie Chart Must Equal _____" question.   Forty years ago, Wilson probably had 3% Hispanic students.  Forty years from now, Wilson will probably have more Asian students than "white" or Hispanic students, if demographic trends continue.

Things change.  Relax.  Enjoy the ride and embrace new opportunities, such as feeding to a new high school.

You’re ill-informed and late to this party.  Adams feeds to Wilson AND Roosevelt already (as a programmatic immersion feeder).  Pretty much zero Adams grads choose to continue their education at Roosevelt. Happy now?  If not, too bad.

There were also no Eaton kids opting for Hardy over Deal 5 years ago. They are now that they only feed to Hardy.[/quote]

False equivalence.  Eaton did NOT feed to Hardy 5 years ago.  Adams has fed to Roosevelt for several years now, and less than 5 students total have chosen Roosevelt in as many years.

This back and forth is a waste of time.  Adams is not going to lose the Wilson feed.  Do you have any other pipe dreams that you would like to discuss?[/quote]

Yes, Eaton fed to both Hardy and Deal and I believe ZERO opted for Hardy. That’s the point.[/quote]

Wrong.  Eaton fed to Deal.  That ended.  Now it feeds to Hardy.

Oyster losing the Wilson feed is still not gonna happen.  The End.[/quote]
