[quote=Anonymous][quote]I love your honesty! This is a classic collective action problem, the type for whose solution there is an occasional Nobel Prize. The "logic of cooperation" actually doesn't require all of the people you mention to reverse course, just a meaningful amount to start, namely the amount it takes for a snowball effect. So let's try play it: Hypothetically, if I can get 10 families with current 4th graders somewhere in the "proficient"/"advanced" category to sign up for Eliot-Hine for 6th grade, who would give it a go? (I'm picking 10 as an experimental ballpark because that's about half a class size.) 
Who'd follow at 15? (let's assume distributed across about two home rooms) 
Who'd follow at 20? (let's assume distributed across two or three home rooms) 
etc. [/quote]

i'd follow at 20. but my kid is only 4....i'm seriously banking on the pioneers at our ward 6 elementary school sticking it out and making EH a better school! and there is no dancing around it: Eliot-Hine is the only facility that makes sense for ward 6. stuart hobson and jefferson (or at least SH) must merge to make one great middle school that feeds into the amazing Eastern High.
