[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, let's be clear on something. JKLMM and Deal/Janney were not always awesome. In fact, not so long ago, they were failing. But then the parents zoned for those schools dug their heels in, got engaged, and turned things around. Now it's time for parents EofTP to do the same. That's the only fair solution. [/quote] This x 1 million! Parents will have to step it up EofP like families WofP did way back when. People move here knowing what they're getting into and then want to cry to their politicians to prevent them from doing what needs to be done. The system just can't support this bandaid gerrymandering approach any more. Obvious borderlines exist and people who live beyond those obvious borders will need to go EofP. This is a reality. It will be hard on many, but as numbers of high SES families continue to rise, the children will not be lone pioneers. In my own failing EofP IB school families banded together and sent their kids to Prek 3. Guess what, they love it! They themselves state how shocked they were that it was actually a really good thing. Powell, Shepherd, West are all great up and comers. CHEC and other middle and high school options have all of the ingredients to continue this desperately needed trend. We as parents should be focused on supporting them.[/quote]
