Many simply have no desire to compete or succeed. You cant change that by shuffling kids to different schools imo. The district is trying to find a solution to low test scores but you cant change those scores by changing what schools you shuffle kids to. Goal oriented parents guiding their children is what is going to change test scores IMO.
Holy cow after only three years of arguing with her Lisa finally got it. Schools aren't perfect. They need interested parents to make the system work. Good post Lisa, best you ever wrote.
