[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These focus groups are a micrcosm of the broader debate and problem. Ward 3 schools are good, not so much because of parental resources (though it obviously helps), but more because the parents are strongly engaged. They read to their kids early and often, make sure they are prepared each school day, volunteer at school, and discipline when necessary. So when the focus groups were announced, naturally the Ward 3 parents were all over them. I got shut out of the NW sessions so I will be traveling to SE in order for my voice to be heard. I've worked too hard and sacrificed a lot to make sure my kids are educated and surrounded by other equally prepared students in the public schools. I feel bad that many schools in this city are deficient, but my sympathy does not extend to allowing my children to be used as ballast to right a sinking ship. [/quote] +1000[/quote]
