[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nick, do you have anything to say about San Francisco?  We're waiting...  [/quote]

Ward 3 equity at its finest.  Oh, SF system is unpopular, says Nick.  Not a peep about the increase in segregation and inequity that it produced.[/quote]

Actually, the articles I've read on the SanFran state that the all-lottery system actually DID increase diversity of students across the board within their schools, but the test scores continued to be terrible, and high income family students resisted it like the plague and either went to the burbs in increasing numbers, or some high SES stayed if they could afford private$$ in the City.  It was a failure academically, and extremely unpopular, so they booted it.[/quote]

"Since 2010, the year before the current policy went into effect, the number of San Francisco’s 115 public schools dominated by one race has climbed significantly. Six in 10 have simple majorities of one racial group. In almost one-fourth, 60 percent or more of the students belong to one racial group, which administrators say makes them “racially isolated.” ...The drive toward racial isolation in the district parallels a larger trend in the city: With many wealthier families opting for private alternatives, the public school system is becoming racially and economically isolated from the city as a whole."
