[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All those recommending 1 or 2 lower grades are back in school need a reality check.   How do you think those kids get to school?   For Title 1 schools - it is not uncommon for an older sibling (4th or 5th grader) to take them with them.

This is not an easy problem for a diverse urban area to solve.

This is not an inconvenience of dropping off 1 child as you supervise an older student and coordinating a car pool[/quote]

You are confused because you are reading the posts purporting to care about the poor underserved families as genuine concern for those families. But that's all a smoke screen for these posters to get their kids out of the house and back into their own schools. The actual complications of "diverse urban area(s)" or Title I populations don't actually concern them.  [/quote]

I don't know what you're talking about.  I want K and 1st prioritized specifically because it will help the kids who need it most.  Objecting to that on the grounds that "they might have an older sibling who walks them to school!" is just frankly bizarre.  My kid is in 3rd, so this has nothing to do with getting him back to school. I'm also a little tired of all the patronizing towards Title I schools and families, as if you don't think there's any way they could get it together to get their kids to school? Why would you think that?  And if you don't think they can figure out how to get their kids to school, why would you think DL is better?  [/quote]
