[quote=Anonymous][/quote] This is nonsense. There are plenty of citywide schools that are highly successful. Keeping poor people out is not a good solution.[/quote] Perhaps you could define "highly successful" here in early 21st Century America for us. I'd go with test scores in the 80s/90s, like JKLM and, soon, Brent and Maury. I'd also go with six-figure PTAs to pay for necessary support staff and supplies (librarians for small schools, teachers aides above K, smart boards, strong extra-curricular programs and decently stocked art, music and science rooms). Tell me, which city-wide schools perform on the level of JKLM and Brent? Logan Montessori? Keeping the percentage of high-SES kids high is the only thing that works well in a city with an abysmally run school system and no city-financed gifted and talented programs. The poor kids who join the gaggle of high-SES kids accrue the benefit in a big way of course. [/quote]
