[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that, if any preference is adopted, it should be as it was originally outlined--for people, regardless at income, who are in low-performing schools.[/quote] I prefer the focus to be keep on the child's SES not on the artificial construct (in my mind) of a "low performing" school.[/quote] I don't think there is anything artificial about a school where 70% of the kids are not at grade level. Why should working class families at these schools be forced to stay because they don't qualify as at risk and can't afford to move in boundary for a promising school? In fact, they are not going to compromise their kid's education; they will either go charter or move to the 'burbs, where they can afford to live IB for a good school. This will leave the struggling schools even worse off.[/quote]
