[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is Not NYC people. There is not way you can compare. In every other part of the country, you move, you go to new school. Period![/quote] But this is not every other part of the country. This is a small city with HUGE income disparity - tiny pockets of concentrated wealth w[b]here people don't use the public schools [/b]and exponentially more pockets of concentrated poverty where the public schools couldn't possibly close the achievement gap without a middle class pulling them up. A middle class is what's creating rising EOTP schools. That's a need that's particular to DC, and we're right on the edge of it changing it for the better. Churn doesn't help that.[/quote] Actually they DO use the public schools! The reason we have overcrowding issues at all is because rich parents are indeed using the public system, both filling it up with their kids and creating a stronger cohort and thus more desirable schools.[/quote]
