[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been a long time since I listened but isn’t the podcast Nice White Parents about parents who did stay in an underperforming school, but they like jacked it up to suit them? Is this what we’re proposing? Or the rich families are supposed to go to the underperforming schools and just be quiet? Maybe putting the onus on kids and families isn’t quite right because they’ll almost always act in their self interest.[/quote]

Not really. NWP was about an immersion program. But the podcast had a lot of critics and sounds like the reporter was kind of loosie-goosie with the facts about a very real school. And of course, not all wealthy parents in DC are white. I think what multiple people are saying is that existing feeder patterns are creating security dilemmas for other schools -and thereby bringing the other schools down. Out-of-ward preferences are one example, but there are others. Having charter schools start in the 5th grade creates  security dilemmas, for example. [/quote]
