[quote=Anonymous][i]You educate the students you have, not the ones you want. [/i] So create the students you want with improved long-term planning and the requisite inputs. Start up gifted programs in mainly low SES schools and vote out politicians who won't go to bat for test-in middle schools with a city-wide draw, programs catering to 11 to 14 year-old advanced learners across the socio-economic spectrum. Fifth grade at Basis or Latin via lottery admissions is too little too late. Many of us on these boards have little kids - we've got ten years to push the city to educate the students we want. OP doesn't want an ALL high SES school from the sounds of it, she wants a suitable school for her upper-middle-class kid for the elementary grades and, presumably, through senior year in high school. For her tax dollar, give her one. [/quote]
