[quote=Anonymous][quote]This proposal makes clear to me that the LSAT and administration simply want to serve a different population and have more control over the student (and parent) population. Instead of looking at how to better meet the needs of and retain current student through middle school, they blame the families for leaving and label them as not committed (despite the fact that the data clearly show that the overwhelming majority of families are committee to the model). When an organization stops asking how it can do better and instead blames the people it is trying to serve for problems, learning and potential are stilted. [/quote] TOTALLY. There is a tendency to blame parents for "not being committed" to the bilingual model all the way through middle school, when all parents are doing is objectively looking at what the school has to offer at the middle school level versus other schools. When the reasons parents pull their kids are revealed (no math differentiation, mediocre science, substandard facilities (seen the stairs recently?), the school's response is to get very defensive and dig in their heels instead of saying, "Geez, people are leaving for the exact same reasons, year after year! How can we fix this?" Their response? Take away Deal as an option to force families to stay in a weak program! [/quote]
