[quote=Anonymous]There's an obvious solution that would get better results than separating UMC parents EotP into winners--those who lottery into Latin 1, Latin 2 or BASIS, where at-risk percentages are low--and losers who are stuck with DCPS EotP and iffy charters. The solution is serious academic tracking in large public middle schools, the lesser of the evils. Rather than driving out hundreds of UMC families EotP after failing to shame or compel them to enroll at middle schools they're not excited about, ed leaders could incentivize many more of these families to stay in the public system. Their children might not be in core classes with too many poor kids in middle schools with extensive tracking, but at least high and low SES kids could take electives and do extra curriculars together.[/quote]
