[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like an attempt to create a private school reality in a city that is straining to fix its public schools. If a student is academically talented, shouldn't they get a shot at their neighborhood school? Seems like concentrating all of the semi-talented kids at three schools would be a talent suck on the neighborhood high schools.[/quote] You are so naive. If you eliminated the schools, families would go private, charter, or move. They are not going to send their kid to their poorly performing IB neighborhood school. I mean, we see this at the elementary level at charters already, where stakes are not nearly as high as middle and high school and where the achievement gap is not nearly as profound. [/quote]
