[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically only the lowest-income students get in.[/quote] Yes. Instead of distributing high SES kids through the system via lotteries, this plan would distribute at-risk kids through the system via set-asides. There could be positives to this approach: 1) At-risk get to be in a stable, positive learning environment where their needs can be meet by fully staffed, resource rich schools. There are studies that indicate that this approach can be successful. 2) The sending schools have their administrative and educational burdens reduced so that the middle/working class families left behind can have a fighting chance to build a decent school.[/quote]
