[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also really gross to see parents crapping on other schools in your greater community -- your kid has friends at the school that you're saying sucks.

Einstein has a great VAC and the VAPA has led to a good music culture.

Northwood has a strong dance and theater culture.

Both schools provide enrichment to kids.

Einstein having 2 jazz bands doesn't mean Northwood sucks. Northwood having award-winning Latin dance teams doesn't mean Einstein sucks.

Maybe focus on raising the bar for all kids so nobody approaches their high school choice with a zero-sum mindset.[/quote]

No one is crapping on Northwood.  Northwood and Einstein are probably comparable in many ways but people move to the Einstein community for the arts.  Lose the arts, school lottery and lack of stem, there will be a huge decline in Einstein and it will really hurt Einstein.  So, Northwood will get better and Einstein is set up to fail.    The arts are Einstein's identity.

With this plan, Einstein only gets a teacher program.  They shut down the teacher program as there was a lack of interest.  So, why?

How about asking parents and students what they want in their school?  Right now a lot of the stem kids leave due to lack of stem.  Or, students have to do stem at other schools or MC to make Einstein work.[/quote]
