[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]

Don't be naïve.  Yes, there are families who leave schools for a better feeder (and for other reasons) but don't think for a minute that there aren't families out there that don't feel comfortable with all the children (and families) of color at a school and leave for only that reason.[/quote]
