[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually do think we should fight to keep the DCC model. [/quote]

No, it's been horrible for Kennedy.

School choice is a conservative approach to education that treats schools like businesses that have to compete with one another. It doesn't work. The kids that most need better schools don't have the resources to travel to a further school.[/quote]

How has it been horrible for Kennedy? How would not being part of the DCC have been better?

I am a Kennedy fan, btw. Sometimes I feel like the only one. [/quote]

Low enrollment, horrifically bad test scores[/quote]

There's more to a school than test scores. More of you should take the tour, look those kids in the eye and then go on about how their hard work and the work of their educators doesn't matter.

I'm not saying their work doesn't matter. Hard work is important. But being able to demonstrate learning is also important. We want kids to learn. They need to be able to read and right and understand math to be successful in the workforce. And test scores at Kennedy are terrible even when comparing the same demographic groups to schools with similar FARMS rates. [/quote]
