[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

The Kipp method results in lots of students burning out and going back to public school. [/quote]

Burning out?  Oh, please.  It's more like copping out.  I guess some folks just are not interested in ever having to work hard for anything, some folks are not interested in ever improving their lives.
