[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with the posters calling BS on this one. Looking at the post-lottery data, most of the schools mentioned so far took ONLY in bounds kids for prek-3 AND put a handful on the wait lists.

Ross has been in bounds only for a few years now, and this year Francis Stevens was too. I suspect the schools people might have been talking about where this was a problem the last few years might be Marie Reed or H.D. Cooke - and both of these accepted only in bounds this year.

Blame it on more families staying in the city - but I think this "squatting trend" is ceasing to exist! :)

I think this is a positive thing, schools aren't going to get better until people ACTUALLY invest in them for the long term.[/quote]

It's a disease that is heading east! A contagion heading west out of Bancroft to Tubman, from Ross to Seaton, from SWW@FS to Garrison, from Marie Reed to Langley, from Amidon Bowen to Van Mess.

The only way to solve it is to universalize the pilot where Title I schools offer automatic right-of-entry to ECE for all neighborhood families.

Oh snap, why hasn't anybody blamed charters yet?[/quote]
