[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes let's all work on our neighborhood schools. And I am being serious about that too. With an added comment that I wish people would stop pitting neighborhood school against close-to-neighborhood school. Let each community do their work and applaud them for it.[/quote]

The trouble is that your neighborhood school is not really "yours".

You and many others in your neighborhood will contribute to the success of your school.  You'll give money to the PTA, chaperon field trips, lend a hand on beautification day, serve as a mystery reader, etc.  Even before your DC gets to "your" school, you'll contribute by ensuring that DC is prepared to start K.

Years from now, however, when you school is successful, others will take your school away from you in the name of equity and social justice.   [/quote]

And "diversity" -- watch for that word -- it's something most everyone thinks is good - like "choice" but I think DME will soon be using it work toward weakening neighborhood schools.[/quote]
