[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is changing.  They continue to get the best courses and resources and the other schools get the minimum.  [/quote]

What resources do the Ws get that other schools don't?  I think the biggest difference in the schools is the parent community/cohort.  And, lower income schools receive additional resources from the federal government[/quote]

No, they don’t get additional resources for high school.  The course offerings, clubs, sports.  [/quote]

I can tell you for NBMS that feeds into WJ - most of the extracurriculars are organized by parent volunteers. We just finished our ScienceOlympiad run and you cannot even imagine how many hours were spent by parents. School contributed maybe 1%. The rest is on us. [/quote]

Again, it still takes resources and a willing principal.  Our principal says no to most things.  [/quote]

Parents are the RESOURCES. Principal has not spent a minute on this. We had to approach the science teacher to be our sponsor (she filled some paperwork + did some admin stuff.) The actual coaching was done outside of school, in libraries, at our houses. That is why I live in a W cluster. Community is very active. [/quote]
