[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is 'no'. No one has figured out how to it on a large scale.[/quote] Fairfax County has the 11th largest school system in the country. So, it can be done on a large scale. It is majority minority. It has 26.7% in free/reduced price lunches, many more should be considering the COL. 16% ESOL. It spends much less per student than many city schools and higher class sizes.[/quote] I live in a small city where 95+% of students qualify for free or reduced cost lunch and over 30+% are English language learners-once you hit the tipping point where almost all of the children in the system are poor, and middle class families stop seeing public schools as an option, you need an exponential amount of resources to support students.[/quote] in smaller cities like dc the middle class families / voters flee to surrounding jurisdictions. Not possible somewhere NYC hence the support for G&T programs. [/quote]
