[quote=Anonymous]If DCPS wants to encourage higher SES and well-educated families (of all races) to consider EoftheP schools, then not only do they have to create G&T test-in/magnet options to ensure that the advanced kid will not be dragged down, but they also have to figure out how to get tough on the behavior/cultural issues that frighten higher SES families away.  That means being a lot quicker to expel problem kids and/or create specialized KIPP-like models to redirect the behaviorally challenged kids into.  No matter the quality of the magnet program, parents (both white and AA) are not going to send their kid to [Eastern/Coolidge/CHEC/Roosevelt/etc.] if they are afraid of their kid getting "jumped" in the hallway.

Following up on 11:19--if DCPS wanted to capture the higher SES families up 16th from Dupont to Colonial Villlage---then it should focus on CHEC/Bell or McFarland/Roosevelt and then feed Oyster Adams/Ross/Garrison/Bancroft/Shepard Park/West/Powell into it.  (I'm probably forgetting an ES but you get the general idea).  [/quote]
