[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kids do better at schools with more resources, why not allocate extra resources to schools with many poor kids? When poor kids are disbursed across schools, what it does is it takes away resources from non poor kids, yet does not address specific needs of the poor students (at least, it is not tailored to address them). It’s a lose lose situation. Why not have schools with small classes, highly paid teachers, a curriculum that allows to bring the kids up to speed from wherever they are, and a host of additional services? Year round schools with a longer day and free food. Anyone would be able to go to such a school, but they will be based in low income areas and low income schools. At the same time, “regular” schools will have kids on grade level, ready to learn, etc. It will also be open to any low income or ESL child who wishes to attend it. Just basically let’s have two types of school. [/quote] Politically incorrect.[/quote]
