[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would argue that DCPS' problem with middle school isn't the number of seats, it's that with a few exceptions their schools just aren't very attractive. If they figured out a way to make them attractive those seats would fill. [/quote]

They know. But it is hard. The answer is to grow middle and upper class buy in. Most of the time DCPS is just pissing those people off. [/quote]

It's getting better people on Capitol Hill have finally realized [b]Stuart Hobson and Jefferson actually work with honors/tracking [/b]although many folks still prefer Latin and Basis

The biggest problem now is EOTP.  There are still no good option for folks.  The city needs to replicate the honors/tracking models in at least two of the middle schools in the area to keep higher income folks of all races in DCPS.

So tired of reading the casual racism of pro-tracking comments. Tracking is ineffective at making higher students do better and explicitly hurts lower students. It’s junk science perspectives like this so commonly held by the general public that drive educators nuts. [/quote]

No, what drives educators nuts is the central office that micromanages their work and all the kids who don't even show up for class.
