[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 19:13 Very interesting observations. How would you recommend fixing the funding model? What would you recommend doing with children who have failing in boundary schools?[/quote] not 19:13 and don't have a plan for fixing the funding model (the school system should, though). But I'd say a start is not thinking of the schools as failing. A building can't fail. That whole line of thinking skews the reality of what's happening in any school - some combination of facilities, teaching and admin staff, funding, parental involvement, neighborhood influences, and the kids. Administrators who are in denial about teachers' abilities to single-handedly change student trajectory (despite being proven wrong) and who are pushing different buildings, via OOB and charter placement, as the only solution, will never be able to fix anything, except their job security, as long as the city that's paying them lets them continue along this course.[/quote]
