[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As others have noted, to no avail, LT ALREADY OUTPERFORMS MAURY on test scores.

[cue cheating accusations in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...]

It amazes me that, in the face of EVIDENCE that LT is doing a fine job educating high-achieving kids, people keep talking as though Maury is something to aspire to.

If your goal is more white butts in seats, Maury is something to aspire to; if your goal is a school that offers solid educational opportunities, LT is already there.

And, y'know, if your goal IS more white butts in seats -- if your goal is to have a school that's at least 20% white through the upper grades, so that your child isn't an "only" -- I think that's OK. Just admit that.

But don't confuse that with making the school "stronger" or "increasing opportunity" or (worse) "overhaul." It makes the school a more comfortable place for you and your child, which is an understandable goal for you to have. You don't have to justify it as "improving" the school -- that only succeeds in offending the families whose kids are already excelling at LT.
