[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An abundance of high demand charters in close proximity to Brookland Middle School and almost zero interest of local mid-high SES parents to enroll their kids into DCPS elementary schools isn't the formula for success here.

Over before it started on this path.[/quote]

True.  So DCPS should just throw up its hands and give up?  [/quote]

The only solution that I can see is that the system would need to provide an incentive for those who are in the charters to cycle into BM.

That would mostly apply to kids who live in the BM inbound area, because very little (read no) chance of kids coming over to charter elementaries  cycling into BM.

If Brookland area charters don't feed into BM, there could certainly be moderate improvements.  Not holding my breath though..[/quote]

What on earth "incentive" could it be?  And how could it overcome the disadvantages that come with a high poverty population?  Also, nobody is interested in giving up DCI high school rights.[/quote]

A $5K/year voucher for college tuition.  :) [/quote]

Hahahahah!  [/quote]

Only usable and UDC and CCDC![/quote]
