[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]APS has 28,000 students, the vast majority of them in neighborhood schools. This is in contrast to the percentage of commenters in this blog that support options schools. It also seems strange that options school parents here never talk about transportation, an overwhelming cost and issue. Just a bit of reality check. [/quote]

Overwhelming? Please. How about all the resources we have to pour into our underperforming neighborhood schools?

If you love your neighborhood schools and others love their options schools, let each be. But if I had to pick, I'd go all option. Solves a lot of problems. [/quote]

NP but this is a failed model.  Look at San Francisco.  Most people, including low-income people btw, value a neighborhood school and want it for convenience and community building. [/quote]

It works in other places! [/quote]

New York, Denver, New Orleans, LA.  Only about 30% proficient in grade-level knowledge and skills.[/quote]
