[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot force people into underperforming schools. The suburbs have been and will continue to be the alternative to this, if OOB and charters don’t work out. If DCPS offered tracking, gifted programming, or advanced coursework in some high schools that would go some ways towards attracting families that would otherwise opt out. Carrots not sticks.[/quote] I get this, but the upthread comment is legit. WOTP full, Charters full, gentrifiers don't want 90-plus percent low-income African American schools = probably some people moving to the suburbs or changing their opinions of what's available. If not suburbs, then some [b]interesting changes are going to happen as some white, upper class people accommodate themselves to being tiny minorities in schools aimed at children who aren't testing at grade level[/b].[/quote] What does this mean?[/quote]
