And that's the bottom line.

When 80% of your school system is below basic proficiency, the crabs are always going to pull the achievers back into the pot. This is the same mentality that sees an influx of middle-class taxpaying residents into the city and sees it as a great injustice because "some are being left behind."[/quote]

why should smart kids who are zoned for Wilson arrive unprepared to take AP classes because they were not zoned for Deal?  Why should smart 5th graders be unable to go to Banneker or SWW because their MS is crappy.  There are a lot of smart black and hispanic kids who are getting screwed because they are poor and there is no test in middle school that will teach them the math and English that they need in MS to do something, somewhere, for high school.  A whole cadre of kids is being cheated every year, and these are some of the kids DCPS absolutely should not fail.[/quote]
