[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don Verrilli is an elitist who went to Yale and Columbia Law, but wants to destroy high performing public schools by promoting a left-wing "progressive" agenda. Lives in Upper NW DC, not Fairfax County; wonder what schools his own kids attended (almost surely not ones with much "socioeconomic diversity").  [/quote]

If his kids go to elite privates in DC their schools are likely more diverse than TJ. Heck, almost every HS in the DC area is more economically diverse than TJ was before the change.

Sidwell = 20% receive financial aid 
TJ before = 2% economically disadvantaged
TJ after = 10%

That's a step in the right direction. I'd like to believe that any student, regardless of wealth, could have access to a great education if they were able and motivated, but there's clearly more that needs to be done. Maybe the model is the problem. It's not like I know. [b]I wish challenging courses were available to everyone at every school[/b].[/quote]

[b]They[/b] don't wish that.  Not everyone wants the same thing.  And that's okay. [/quote]

Who is “they”? [/quote]
