[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't matter what consortiums are called or which programs and created or folded, there were good schools and the rest getting by and there will be good schools with the rest just getting by after this. The only changes being a couple will shuffle around from mid tiers schools to losers and a couple just getting by into mid tier but the strong ones will be the same.  All the gripes i see on this board are from the mid tier schools afraid of going backwards draping themself in the flag of justice.  But if it took a disproportionate amount of funds to make a DCC school look less mediocre then what is it really whats the justice on shifting those funds to prop up a couple inside on one? Blair got to be mid tier by picking off motivated students from the DCC and pulling in hundreds of affluent rock stars, sure on paper it looks less DCC but it was really inflicting on the home schools of those kids what it is decrying will happen to it when it is clustered to better schools and loses the STEM program. All while not making a huge difference to its local kids other than appeasing the middle class who owned homes IB to it. Now each cluster will have a best school and many will have access to a W they never had before. Seems like a step in the right direction[/quote]

Many of us don't want our kids at a W school.  You all keep pushing and believing we do but if we did we'd be living in your community.  Best is subjective.[/quote]

It’s obvious that there is a person or a few people who look down what they view as elitism at Whitman, while simultaneously shouting they are wealthy and that their “smart” kids “prop up” the scores at Einstein. I fully believe you don’t want your kids at a W school. I don’t think it’s because you’re actually worried about the influences for your kids. I think you likely have discomfort due to some social inferiority complex where you didn’t feel like you exactly fit in growing up in that type of environment. I don’t think you represent the majority of students/families at your school, who may or may not be eager to accept a spot at a school they couldn’t otherwise access.[/quote]
