[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such myopia on this thread.  Neighborhoods benefit when the families in them send their kids to schools the small fry can reach on foot.  Kids benefit from attending schools they can attend with neighborhood pals.  Struggling schools benefit tremendously from an influx of the children of the affluent and highly educated.   Yet one PP after another defends the mediocre status quo at LT.

Your comment isn't rooted in reality.  Many families enroll in schools without respect to geography.  Just look at the Hill students attending private schools across town (not as uncommon as you think).  Same deal with charters.  People will send their kids to the school they think is best suited to their educational philosophy and the needs of their children.  That may be a neighborhood school, but it could just as easiliy be located somewhere else.  You are likely to find that your kid's "neighborhood pals" attend school all over the map whether you think that's best or not.[/quote]
