[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why should SA accept the status quo? [/quote]u

Because they can’t convince a parent with a kid who walks to Discovery that a bus to Randolph is a better option.[/quote]

Always the extreme examples.[/quote]

DP. No one ever offers concrete suggestions in the middle. All rhetoric, no ideas.[/quote]

DP. I think, unfortunately, that ideas in the middle will sound terrible on paper. We all want kids to succeed. It is very hard for English learners to succeed without help. It is hard for students that know English to succeed when they have to wait for the others to catch up. There's probably a way to catch up English learners and mainstream them. That's probably happening on some level. But the other kids still have to wait and have to go to a school where the resources are focused on that. In theory, you could test kids and send them to schools that "fit" their needs, but all that results in is segregation. There would be an UMC "academy" and a English learning "bootcamp" or something.  (and it would not fly)

There has to be a better option, but like you said, it's always to the extremes.

Look at the CC.[/quote]

Not necessarily. Moving the immersion programs to Barcroft/Carlin Springs while having Ashlawn cross 50 seemed like a promising step, and the idea seemed to have support from many corners.[/quote]
