[quote=Anonymous]The difference being those in the wealthier 'hoods try to privatize their local public . . . So there's always an unfair advantage created by money & too much time on one's hands.

[quote=Anonymous]"Is this 15th kid really losing so much that it's worth it for his wealthier family to pull him out, like all the other wealthier families have pulled their kids out, so there are literally no highly involved parents left? It seems like we've made that bargain in this country. That we keep our own kid completely safe, surrounded by other wealthy kids, while draining all the parental resources out of the schools we leave. "

Yes, that 15th kid is going to pass the exam, but they are sure not maximizing their own learning.  so they are getting really shortchanged.  There IS a way to keep higher income & more involved families at the local/eastern schools, but it's not PC/popular apparently.  You would be ability grouping from the get-go in at least 1st grade.  That would make more middle class parents consider schools they are now worried about if they could have confidence their kid would be with similar learners.  In turn, those parents would stay involved in the school rather than fleeing for other zones or for private.  [/quote][/quote]
