[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are still a few OOB spots in the upper grades some of the Deal feeders, but very few.

No brainer...at Deal, 7th grade algebra, four foreign languages, great extra-curriculars, boatloads of high-performing kids etc. [/quote]

How much would it cost JA to hire a 7th grade algebra teacher or someone to teach a different foreign language? Or to run extracurriculars? Price it out. Talk to the principal. Raise the funds, donate them to the PTA, and get it done. If you want WoTP level stuff, you're going to need a WoTP-level PTA. You're not going to get as much from parents since JA is smaller and poorer, but there is a TON of money with all the developers and businesses and BIDs. They want the schools to be good almost as much as you do. But you need to harness that. There are also grants both from community and national organizations.

First step is to join the PTA and talk to the principal. What are the top 10 changes he'd make if he just had the money? Then pick the one that appeals to you most and start dialing for dollars. [/quote]

The math teachers at JA are already certified to teach Alg. They just need the students to enroll.

It is a classic chicken and egg conundrum. [/quote]
