[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couldn't progress be made at a school like Stuart Hobson if DCPS were as determined to ensure that middle-class families became comfortable sending their children to by-right schools EotP as they are to ensure that poor kids test at grade level?  How do the poor kids at Hobson benefit when few middle-class/in-boundary/white kids attend year in and year out? The logic DCPS follows at the MS level makes no sense to me.[/quote]

How would poor kids or kids below grade level benefit from rich kids on grade level attending their school, especially if those kids were in separate classes for all subjects? [/quote]

That's the same question asked about our by-right Capitol Hill elementary schools 10 or 15 years ago.  The answer is blatantly obvious - UMC parents pushing for better admins, better teachers, betters specials, better upkeep, faster and better renovations (think Maury), better after-school programs, better oversight, better field trips, better outreach to politicians in lobbying for increased budgets, grants and support for special programs. I could go on.
