[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a failure right out the gate.  Parents stuck in the middle will eventually move out of the city once they begin to pay attention to the difference between out of state and in-state tuition. It's inevitable for many. Children who would benefit the most from this program, would have benefitted without the program.[b] They are in that special target range where they would receive all types of financial aid.[/b] Hey subsidized college is for the poor and lower middle income. The rich kids are subsidized by their parents. And as usual, the middle class pay for everything. It's the American way. [/quote]

The bolded is a myth.  A small proportion of highly competitve schools, comprising a far smaller percentage of students than they did when you and I were in school, are able to heavily subsidize low income kids.  Average to above average students do not have access to that,unless it's through state aid thd DC kids don't get, and for low income kids in this category it can be very very difficult to access college.[/quote]
