[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my title I, 99% FARMs school at full capacity, we receive $318,884 in title I funds, in a school that is community eligible for title I in which almost all the students are poor. That's significantly less money than Janney beings in for fundraising through the PTA, and my school has a population that has much greater academic and non-academic needs than at Janney. Don't bullshit us and say that JKLM schools bring in less than title 1; it simply is not true.[/quote]

What is per pupil funding at your school, let's do a comparison regardless of source?

Also, I do no get the animosity to wotp parents, there is no pressure to contribute at Janney.  There is encouragement, but I have NO IDEA who contributes and how much.  Seriously, this is not common knowledge and I do not have judgments about parents and their contributions because I do not know what they are.  It is a very involved, supportive and welcoming community.

I think what is going on at other schools with involved parents is great.  The question is what impact would not knowing what school your child would go to will have on the sense of community, the ability of parents to invest in schools before they get there (which many now do, especially in gentrifying areas), etc.  will it be a plus in areas where communities are currently rallying or will the uncertainty lead more families to leave the city.

Choice sets in upper NW are silly, they would add chaos without adding value and they would reduce walkability.
