[quote=Anonymous]You cannot just move boundaries and expect families to send their kids to sub par schools to fix the larger dcps problems. You have got to create a quality reason for people to want to send their kids. Create an actual magnet middle schools for the arts and another for stem and another for something else. Make them GT or test in. Build great facilities. Locate them centrally. If they are solid programs, people with the attributes that contribute to a high performing school will go. Look at Latin, look at Basis. Families want rigor for their children. Give it to them and not plunked in the middle of a failing school with crime problems that make parents fearful. Redistrict my kids and try to tell me they have to attend a failing school and IF enough high SES families to it may succeed and I will call the moving vans. Build a program that offers something interesting, like say many charters do, and I will consider it carefully. [/quote]
