[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From a logic perspective, the more neighborhood families embracing a by-right middle school the better. Visionary DCPS leaders could provide by-right middle schools with incentives to staff the darn honors classes, even if few (or no) students are in a position to take advantage of them during year one. If you build it, they will come. And boy will they come if you can see beyond the end of your nose as a 21st-century planner for a rising school system.[/quote] With 70% economically disadvantaged students, and 40% at-risk, you are truly not their target audience. They know that your kids -- like all kids with educated parents, good housing and nutrition -- will be fine in the long run, getting into and attending college and entering the workforce. Achieving even some of those outcomes for the rest of the students is far from guaranteed. It should not require 'incentives' to get you to embrace your by-right school. Just do it. [/quote]
