[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best models that can demonstrate results for low income students include intensive holistic services for the student and family. The low performing schools need way more than the badic title I resources. If Johnny isn't doing well at Kennedy because he's hanging out with troubled kids and getting in trouble with the cops and living with Grandma because mom split or is an addict and no one knows where dad is OR he's living with mom but she can't pay the bills so he needs to make some cash and her BF is slapping him around so he prefers to couch surf OR he doesn't have a doctor and he ran out of his asthma inhaler and can't afford glasses, etc.  then bussing Johnny to Whitman won't make him do better in school.

And what about the elephant in the room: minority boys who have not been properly coded in elementary school and thus haven't received the necessary supports to succeed in school. These kids are screwed because the principals will not code a minority boy. This is practically MCPS policy, and it's a crime. [/quote]

What do you mean by coded? Do you mean identified as having these issues? (So that the teachers and school community can provide extra help, counseling, etc.?)[/quote]
