[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^Oh come on, there's plenty of concern about poor kids among high SES neighborhood families, even on this thread.

Neighborhood families leave because the school culture is too far from their version of the American dream as much as anything else.  Hint: they smell pot on the clothes of fellow parents 20 years younger than they are, on a regular basis.  Yes, the early childhood teachers are terrific, the facilites are fine, and most families involved seem hell bent on ensuring that their kids get a good education.  Neighborhood parents seem to leave for social reasons as much as academic ones.  But they don't leave with illusions that they'll be missed.  If we were starting this fall, with more neighbors involved (possibly many more), we might have been in it for the long haul.

Yes, you high SES families care about the poor kids, as long as they stay in their schools! And hell, why not give them extended day? Give them anything they want- but do not give them a way to sit next to my child in class. Thanks for your concern you mighty mighty rich folks. You guys are super awesome![/quote]
