[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is sad.  Choice schools need to go away (OK, maybe except immersion).

Did anyone watch the meeting last night?  Somebody on AEM was freaking out, but didn't say why.....just vaguebooking about it.  [/quote]

They can't go away, not until communities integrate. And that's even less likely to happen. This is a way that the SB can get away with saying the system isn't one of the most hyper segregated in the country, while not forcing crazy boundaries to make that actually true. I think we're stuck with the system we have. And if you look at the choice programs, except for HB, they more closely resemble the overall demographics of APS than most neighborhood schools. The ones that don't (like HB) can take some easy steps to become more diverse, certainly easier than trying to get diversity through boundary changes. That's why this is happening. If people didn't act like lunatics during boundary changes or when multi family housing is proposed in certain areas, things might be different. But they're not. [/quote]
