[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] All the more reason for DCPS to not go off half-cocked to implement this policy. [b] If they really want to cling to the "rising tide will lift all boats" theory of helping low income kids succeed academically[/b] then they need to wait another decade until gentrification has created a city where 20 to 25% FARMS distribution across all schools is feasible. Because though I like economic diversity, there's no way my kids are going to a 50% FARMs school---for all the reasons outlined above. Until then, use the KIPP style model in the high FARMs school in an effort to intensively remediate the achievement gap. [/quote] We have proof that the theory works. The issue is in the percentages. 20% yes. 50% no. There's nothing wrong with the theory, the problem is that the implementation can't work in DC. There isn't a large enough population of the higher SES students.[/quote]
