[quote=Anonymous]Here is the challenge as I see it. I live in Ward 5 will not be using any of the schools for any grade that I can foresee. The schools here are too segregated, have too low of scores and lack sufficient parent involvement. This mainly because over half the parents in ward 5 chose to not use the ward 5 schools. You will find a lot of these parents in out of bound lotteries at Hardy, Eaton, Stoddard and of course the many charter schools. You could build a very nice middle school here but I think it it would not attract these families because the scores would never be there because the identified dynamics above would not appreciatively change. The question is who do you build schools for? The middle class parents who are just poor enough not to be able private, but vote or the poorer kids who have very little advocating for them? Would that money be better spent in more intensive educational services a la KIPP. [/quote]
