[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree.  You overestimate the popularity of the Basis middle school.  Most CH families with 4th graders who enter the 5th grade lottery list both Latins ahead of Basis.  The Basis waitlist also moves 60+ spots every summer; this means that there are 60+ families who listed Basis on their lottery bingo card and then after matching declined the space.  You also underestimate the extent to which some core CH families moved into their current home in part due to the IB elementary school.  They are not likely to give that up in early elementary to commute to Basis simply to lock in the middle school.  Lastly, people will disagree here, SH/EH have some buy-in now where not everyone is likely to know precisely how they feel about that option until they take a harder look at it in the late elementary years.  Shaw is its own different question mark with rights to Francis Stevens and Euclid.[/quote]

SH/EH do both have some buy in now. Enough that it angers me to no end that they didn’t combine them to do a Deal for Ward 6. It would have worked.[/quote]

Yes -- this is the way![/quote]

Right! Never happening. Why dwell on it?[/quote]

Certainly the city has no incentive to do anything good with the schools as long as everyone has this attitude. [/quote]
