[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The above discussion is an advertisement for choice sets or some sort of set aside for lower SES kids who want to attend schools with this type of fund raising capacity. [/quote] The DME would say so. However, to the more acute observers, choice set would mean that the high SES parents, responsible for the organization and contribution to the PTAs, would just flee the DCPS system, and go do the same job elsewhere (provates, MoCo, etc...). Not a good at all outcome for DCPS.[/quote] I'm sorry, but that is just not my EOTP experience. People here work hard at schools that are really struggling. I go to a 99% FARMs school with an active PTA of mainly high SES people. The lower-income families volunteer in other capacities, many by doing so in their kids' and grandkids' rooms. Maybe wotp people would bail, but I have a hard time believing that when you would be assigned to one of three excellent schools. [/quote]
