[quote=Anonymous]Being really cynical here - you seriously could start tracking in several DCPS middle and high schools and gifted whatever to draw upper class families that are widespread in Wards 1, 4, and 6 but not in DCPS MS/HS. Then when similarly situated politicized parents say they don't want the tracking BUT AFTER these demographics have joined these schools in numbers similar to their proportions in their neighborhoods you end the tracking in say 5 years. I expect that at that point you could get a lot of the classes in these schools that these families want - math through calculus, humanities, AP classes, etc., that will disproportionately draw prepared students even if actually available to all (the choice will just be that unprepared students won't succeed in those classes without a lot of help, the class just won't be AP-as-taught-to-remedial-level students, e.g., what they have at CHEC).[/quote]
