[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be hard to predict who will stay. It depends on people's lottery luck, but also their jobs, their family needs (like, aging parents), their finances, and how things go for their specific child. I've seen the most invested become disillusioned, and I've seen skeptics won over-- it goes both ways. If you only want people who can and are willing to make a very firm commitment, well, that's not actually enough people. [/quote] This. PK is honestly too young for parents to evaluate whether a school is a good fit for their kid or their family. Most kids are 2 years old when their parents start looking at schools. Did you know what your kid would need in a school at 2nd, 3rd, or 4th grade when your oldest was 2 years old? I did not. People do their best. A lot of families won't even consider Title I schools at all, they will move or go private before they enroll their kids in a school with majority at risk kids. Is that preferable to you?[/quote]
