[quote=Anonymous]Ok I get it now, you aren't familiar with how the programs work.

1.) Yes they have professional staff for the classrooms but you can't just plop a few staff in some empty classrooms in a crappy school. There needs to be a functioning administration to support the staff which most underperforming schools struggle with yearly-- in addition to having the staff part of a consistently strong peers group outside of their classrooms.  Plus the goal isn't to isolate the children or warehouse them all together in one location because there is room. There are lots of specialized classrooms around the city because that is how these programs can best serve the children.  Now DCPS isn't the best at special ed (putting that mildly) but they have come a long way in the last 15 years we have been in the system at making schools more inclusive for all children. 
2.) This is a very limited number of children we are discussing with specific special needs. Murch typically doesn't have seats open in the lottery. A handful of kids may get off randomly sometimes for pre-k but no one is talking about some system where you keep adding kids to better schools. [/quote]
