[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great, use Jefferson for your children. I don't want my sweet, bright, book-hungry kids there in class there with lots of tough students who are far behind academically, even if mine were to go on to score 5s on PARCC tests. A good mix of kids at a neighborhood middle school would be great. But Jefferson doesn't have a good mix of kids and won't for who knows how long, probably 10 or 15 years. Most of the students are from families who aren't just poor, they've been in desperate circumstances for generations. I'm not white but I am a product of hard-charging, uplifting, heavily Asian NYC middle and high school test-in programs. I'd use BASIS before Jefferson. [/quote] Great, use BASIS for your children (if you can get them in through the lottery). This isn't a zero sum game. More choices are better for everyone.[/quote]
