[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't the board add new programs to attract the right type of students to underperforming schools?  The magnet programs have done a fabulous job.

Are members of the board jealous of those us that live in good clusters?  Are they doing this to punish us- seriously?

So you just ignore the masses, hoping they'll be covered up by students being bused into a magnet?

How does that solve anything, genius?

You punish yourself simply by being you.[/quote]

Some underperforming schools are also underenrolled.  If people voluntarily move from their high performing school to a low performing school because of a magnet program offering it does a few things.  First, it solves a capacity issue.  Secondly, it helps bring a better peer group into the schools.  Third, it helps balance schools with out ripping communities apart. Forth- if structured correctly high performing students in a low performing school with have access to some of the programming benefits.

You complain people are calling  you names when they say "you punish yourself by being you" but it's fine for you to say that the BOE must be trying to punish rich people by wanting to redraw boundaries to alleviate over crowding.  LOL[/quote]
