[quote=Anonymous][quote] Overall DCPS has 20,963 at-risk students, 45% of the student body. Those 489 represent slightly over 2% of the students at risk. I'm sure that for those kids it would make a big change in their lives, but it's hard to see how this initiative makes a meaningful dent in the problem. Start small. Go from there. Like you said, ittiudk make a big change in the lives of 600+ at-risk kids. That alone should make it worth doing. That it wouldn't be a huge sea change in any one School is a feature not a bug. The point isn't that it's not a sea change in any one school, it's that it's not a meaningful solution to the problem of concentrated poverty. That's fine. There are many pieces to this puzzle. This is something we can do relatively easily, and we should. [/quote] I agree.[/quote]
