[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What is KIPP doing that is really so different from Friendship Tech, Thurgood Marshall, and Latin?  Are there really enough kids for all these schools? Remember, these are public funds that could have other uses.[/quote]

All of the schools on that list, with the exception of Latin (as of now), are dedicated to serving students who do not have other good educational options -- the bast majority of their students are students of color and students from poor families. Again, that's not the case at Latin, at least not yet. The question, though, isn't how those schools are different from each other, it's how those schools are different from other schools in the area that aren't serving students well. Looking at that, I'd say opening more seats at KIPP is an EXCELLENT use of public funds.[/quote]

Seems like the total number of students is not enough for Bard, Latin, Friendship Tech, Thurgood Marshall, and KIPP, even if you did close Anacostia or Ballou.  So why spend the money?[/quote]
