[quote=Anonymous]First of all, a huge portion of the families on western Pike do not go to WL, they go to WF. If they did, then WF would have an even higher FARMs rate than now.

Second, the people living between 50 and CP, like me, don't want to bus poorer kids away. What we want is balance - diversity. A school that is 60%+ FARMs is no more diverse than one that is 10% FARMs. Many of us want-

(1) wealthier kids in NA to come to higher-FARMs rate schools in SA. This can be done by making the SA schools more attractive with neat programs they want and boundary changes.

(2) options to go to lower FARMs rate schools. Yes, OPTIONS. Despite NA Talento's rhetoric, she does not speak for everyone in the Latino community. if she did, then the poorer families around Glen Carlyn would have been happy to go to WF and would not have pushed to stay at WL. Not all poorer families want to be with other poorer families and understand the value of cohorts from families who have already found and lived the American dream.

If we rely on the SB to make boundary changes to ensure balance and diversity, we won't get it. Never have, never will.
