[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in looking again at Option 3 in terms of leveling out FARMS rates across at least high schools, is the juice worth the squeeze?  The only really big difference in terms of just that one metric (%FARMS) across options looks like Whitman.  It goes from 6% FARMS to 20%.  It seems like you could just do something far less disruptive in terms of busing kids all over the county to increase the FARMS rate at Whitman.

[b]Example is what has been proposed in this thread -- let FARMS kids lottery into Whitman, provide central bus locations.[/b][/quote]

That will be an awesome option for some families.[/quote]

That just takes the most motivated kids with supportive parents out of the high farms schools which then become even worse with less opportuntities[/quote]

but you want the more motivated kids to be able to take advantage of opportunities that less motivated kids won't.  at the very least it will help some of them get out of schools with a higher likelihood of behavior issues.[/quote]

We don’t need our kids out of these schools.  We need the same offerings so our smart kids have the same opportunities.  We don’t want our kids bussed and I know I don’t want mine at Whitman.  [/quote]

Are you FARMS?  Who is “we”?  [/quote]
