[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To all the posters who claim they "just want more middle class kids," be careful!  Middle class kids come with plenty of SPED needs, plenty of anti-social behaviors, and entry of academic challenges, too. You want a school, whether it has a majority of middle class kids or the opposite, to offer a strong SPED program, a visionary leader who sets a proactive agenda with all participants (teachers, staff and students) of non-violence and no-bullying, and a clearly articulated mechanism for differentiated learning in and among classrooms. There are entry of toxic schools filled with middle class kids in this world, please don't deceive yourself. There are also examples in this city of wonderful and supportive schools with middling test scores on average. Wishing that it's as simple as more rich kids doesn't make it so. [/quote]

There's always going to be an example but that's not necessarily indicative of the overall trend.  Sure, those problems exist among middle class kids, but at much lower rates.[/quote]
