[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ward 3 parents on here aren't doing themselves any favors.  I was sympathetic to their concerns because they have the most to lose.  But it doesn't take hipster glasses to see that very few posters from Ward 3 see themselves as part of a collective system and they clearly dislike other parents and kids outside their ward, either because of their choices or circumstances.  Studies show allotting 20% of seats to low-income kids helps those kids, but doesn't hurt the other 80%.  That's not a tipping point, so why not help those needy kids?

As this public debate continues, don't expect the other 7 wards to care about your concerns when you show such disregard for theirs.[/quote]

Does your child have to move from Murch to Eaton, or from Key or Stoddert to Hyde? If you were in that position (your child has to attend a school with lower test scores to make room for 20% oob students), how would you feel? You'd be fine with it for the 'greater good?'[/quote]

I feel sorry for the students at Eaton or Hyde to have a parent such as you.  Both of those schools are solid, have parents that give a damn and effective teachers.  They may not have as rich of kids and they may not be as white as those other schools. But sure as hell don't cry to me because hundreds of kids want to be in those schools.    [/quote]
