[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GGW should pull the article.  The authors clearly have no understanding of the [b]lottery, preferences, and feeders.[/b] [/quote]

That stuff was extraneous, but the article still highlights important data re[i] which schools are doing better than anticipated with at-risk kids. [/i]

While it may not be relevant to your school search, certainly both DCPS and charters should be looking at what these schools are doing and try to emulate it.

The fate of at-risk kids affects everyone with a child in the city. We should applaud those schools that are helping these kids succeed.[/quote]

It is relevant to why people choose Two Rivers over L-T and why peopke leave L-T in upper grades.  They want to basically call everyone a racist and anti-poor for the crime of wanting a good middle school.  [/quote]

I assume this poster is a grumpy TR or ITS parent.[/quote]

Nope.  I am a preschool parent at a Title I with abysmal test scores and no good middle school.  I want better for all kids in DC and poorly-researched articles that obfuscate the real issues do not serve anyone.[/quote]

What real issue did this research, not the blog post, obfuscate exactly?
[/quote]

The research is fine as far as I know, but the blog post obfuscates an issue DCPS is really struggling with: providing quality middle school anywhere other than Hardy and arguably Deal.  And the problem of transporting your child to school.[/quote]

Oops, I meant Deal and arguably Hardy![/quote]
