[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP- my neighborhood school is 65% low income and ESOL, mostly Hispanic. They can’t all be the children of corporate employees or have been here for x generations.
It does look like an invasion, neighborhood families (the ones who have been here for many years in fact) rarely send their kids to this school. [/quote]

How exactly does it "look like an invasion"?[/quote]

Middle class families don’t find the teaching rigorous enough. Tons of time spent on discipline and remedial instruction. Very few afterschool activities because nobody wants to organize them and/or pay for them. 
Basically, this school now “belongs” to low income ESOL students. They are the focus. [/quote]

OMGERD!! PEOPLE SEND THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL!!! PANIC!!! 
[/quote]

Their kids need free lunches, therapy, remedial instruction, ESOL services, free aftercare, free enrichment. 
Guess what, kids who come from generational poverty and are US citizens, and descendants of slaves, need it all, too! 
And guess what, middle class kids of citizens and LEGAL immigrants need enrichment (which they cannot get because the school leadership refuses to invite vendors unless they accommodate free lunch kids). 
Middle class kids need quality instruction, and more than a handful of parents volunteering for more than a handful of events.
They also need teachers who are not stretched thin.
