[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This new proposal doesn't improve neighborhood schools, but then offers no alternatives for middle class families who will be shut out of the lotteries because they are not at-risk. In this sense it is far more disruptive than the status quo.[/quote] What do you recommend is a better way? Also, at risk is a pretty narrow definition, do you think the families of at risk kids in general will be in a position to take advantage of this opportunity? Said another way, will at risk families be able to cross the city daily to get their children to the WOTP schools? At middle school and up likely yes because the kids can take public transportation, elementary school is harder. This may create more open seats at some schools in practice.[/quote]
