[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's called two different experiences. So there's no blanket rule that title 1 schools won't work for you. It works for some and not others.[/quote] Ya know, I've been on Cap Hill since the 90s. I talked to a lot of parents and have elementary school age kids. The reality is that Title 1 schools seldom work for high SES families in the upper grades, unless there's a school-within-a-school program attracting few poor kids (e.g. Tyler Spanish Immersion). Granola crunchie parents driven mainly by political ideology and white guilt will invariably claim that all's well. I don't believe them. Come on, what works is when Title 1 schools in gentrifying areas stop being Title 1, like Ludlow-Taylor this year, and Maury a few years back, and, thus, become real neighborhood schools.[/quote]
