[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But Ithought that he supports good schools for ALL children? [/quote]

He does, but you don’t risk pulling top performing students down to advance an economic diversity agenda. That’s just stupid.

It’s kinda like telling a student who works really hard that she doesn’t need so many As, so the school is going to take some of them and give them to someone who needs them more.

Before anyone attacks me, please guarantee that top performing students won’t be sent to an adjacent lower performing school to boost that school’s performance or lower its FARM score.[/quote]

Why would you assume that attending a more economically diverse school would &quot;pull to performers down.&quot;

We're not talking about moving kids from Whitman to Kennedy.[b] We're talking about adjacent zones, so maybe Whitman to BCC (not really, but as an example)[/b]. Are the Whitman kids' academic credentials so fragile that a 10% swing in FARMS rate would erode them entirely? [/quote]

Do you know if this is enough to achieve the 10000 over enrollment -&gt; 10000 under enrollment problem?[/quote]
DP.. no one said it is enough, but it should definitely be looked at.   It's common sense to redraw a boundary that includes the under capacity school right next to the over capacity school.  Your fear against the word "especially" in the FAA policy has caused you to disregard some common sense.[/quote]
