[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, the quick (and sad) answer to your question is nothing.  All the advantages that WTOP park seem to have come from SES.

- schools have more financial resources bc parents can afford to give
- parents can participate more either bc one can afford to SAH (and thus have the time) or they have jobs that allows for flexibility so they can volunteer
- kids are not as disruptive bc they do not have to deal with crap at home
- parents have the means and the will to "fix" those kids who are disruptive

I could go on but you get the point.  [/quote]

Let's add one more STABILITY, in EOB schools the administration/principals often rotate in and out of the school as do the students. Teachers who are trying to make a difference are facing an uphill battle. Half the students don't come to school during first period, when it rains, snows, on Mondays, Fridays, the day before or after a holiday, etc. Oh and then DCPS first two years of IMPACT kept rewarding the WOTP teachers with huge bonuses, how is that an incentive for teachers to work East of the river. There are many highly effective and "exhausted" teachers giving it everything they've got EOTP but they have been routinely dismissed and labeled by the media, DCPS, and others as ineffective based on the overall test scores of the school.
