[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure that the things low-income kids working below grade level need (ie, evidence-based solutions to help them stay in school and make academic progress) are the things that middle/upper class families with kids at or above grade level will be pushing for if they enroll at Stuart-Hobson. For example, non-tracked classes are useful for low-performing students. A longer school day or school year might help. There are certain curriculums and interventions that have been successful in getting kids onto grade level. I don't think these are what the nice white parents of Capitol Hill will be raising money and nagging their elected officials to produce. So if you want a school that's a better fit for your kid, and doesn't require you to move/win the charter lottery/pay for private, just be honest and say that. Don't pretend that your presence or advocacy skills is going to help any of the students currently at the school.[/quote]
