[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Undeniably true, yet Congress won't tweak the Federal law on charters to permit two lotteries for immersion schools. Real myopia on the part of lawmakers.

Here in DC, overall, push factors are as strong, or stronger, in drawing parents to immersion charters as pull factors. The overwhelming majority of YY, LAMB, MV and Stokes families are escaping low performing in-boundary schools. Few families choose immersion charters over  schools that are strongly high SES. The immersion charters mostly attract parents who wouldn't in fact go for immersion if they had a strong in-boundary school. Oyster is by far DC's strongest immersion program partly because the Oyster families have a strong/mostly high SES non-immersion alternative (Eaton). [/quote]

What the hell does this have to do with the question in the post?  WHY MUST YOU ALL KEEP DOING THIS? Can we ever stay on topic?  How did we get to talking about how dc WOTP schools are better than these immersion schools?  And how primarily only parents with poor in boundary schools send their kids to these schools?  Really, WTF does that have to do with the question?[/quote]
