[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not enough SA middle class professionals. And they are not vocal enough. It's not about fair.  It's about being loud and visible. If SA parents want to be heard they have to organize and be prepared for the liberal activist VOICE nuts'  blowback. [/quote]

Actually, there are plenty of SA middle class professionals.  The problem is that many of them are part of VOICE. And many who aren't, don't need to make a fuss because they have their house and "diverse neighborhood" and their choice public school program so they don't have to admit to the realities their indifference create.[/quote]

Well, yeah, that's the bargain, that's the politics. Option schools are basically a way to get SA professionals quiet about school segregation. Prob is, now there is more demand than supply for option schools. There is this fantasy that these students who don't get an option seat will somehow be "forced" to attend a segregated school that doesn't track students on ability. Nope, they'll move.

Wrong on all.

Randolph parent [/quote]

IF the above poster was incorrect, the numbers at Randolph would look different. [/quote]

For context: randolphs planning units have approximately 590 k-5 aged students this school year. There are about 470 students enrolled there. So about 120 students zoned for Randolph don't go to school there. FWIW, the planning units containing the SFH portion of Douglas park that are zoned to Randolph have about 135 students.[/quote]

And how many of those transfers are from the SFHs?  How many of those transfers (or opt-outs) are ED students?
And what about the parts of Douglas Park zoned to other schools? How many of those students are middle class and how many are ED?[/quote]

Most of the transfers are from sfh's. Few of the transfers are from ED students.The other parts go to Hoffman Boston.  They are middle class. Will be interesting to see how many students are in those units. It is sfh’s and high end condos at west village. If they all get redirected AND everyone decides to got to Randolph- Randolph will Be WAY OVER CAPACITY. and still mostly poor. That area is a cluster and truly nobody wants to deal with it.
