[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]hmmm wonder why they put an activism curriculum in that school? But only for the kids resourced enough to go with the grades to support. That's good central office engineering [/quote]

I assure you there are many people in central office who think it is extremely generous and evolved to allow out of boundary students to get their own transportation to Whitman. They never realized it's 2026, not 1986[/quote]

Is it not? Getting access to the best HS in the county is clearly an opportunity many will jump at. [/quote]

Yes the privileged who can afford to drive their kid to/from school every day will jump at that opportunity.  everyone else is just stuck with what they're zoned for.[/quote]

Thats the brilliant Central Officing, You get a token program that looks "restorative" at a place that can use some brand messaging but you structure that incoming don't mess with the brand.  The classes are the same, its the kids and their level of support that make it the best school, if you can't support them enough to get them there you are kind of missing the point of going unless you want others to support your kid and if people like that had access it wouldn't be the same.

The classes are [i]not[/i] the same.[/quote]

There is slight shifting to the common denominator. If you have a bunch of kids trending towards bigger and better things you have to teach them bigger and better thing. If you have a school filled up with hopefully they graduate, many rooms are taken up for basic classes. Again it’s about the kids. Not the one offs, what did you think the differences between nice areas and poor areas was going to be? [/quote]
