The schools are REALLY bad there though. I have three friends who live there. One of them actually  teaches science classes at one of the elementary schools because otherwise the kids would get ZERO SCIENCE EDUCATION. [/quote]

Maybe they aren't interested in the public schools. There are excellent private schools in the area and some charter networks like KIPP. [/quote]

KIPP is not good. We looked into it for middle school. They discipline through humiliation. Lots of screaming at kids like military school. DD takes a bus that picks up about half a dozen KIPP kids and I've talked with them about their school. What they said reinforced my decision that KIPP is not a good school for the average well-behaved kids.[/quote]

Is this KIPP in SF or another KIPP school?  KIPP is not for everyone but I was offering it up an option. [/quote]

I thought there was an income limit for KIPP.  Is that not the case?[/quote]

For a charter school? Never heard of it. If they accept public funds how can there be an income requirement?[/quote]

According the kip web page 87 percent of its students nationwide are low income and 96 percent is aa or Latino.  Clearly that is not random.  There is a very well known public magnet in San Diego that is only open to students whose parents did not attend college.[/quote]

[b]Sooo where does it say it is income restricted?  The statistic you quoted doesn't include that fact[/b]. [/quote]
