Reality. Those schools are not going to get fixed. Solution, let parents they care send kids to ones that are better.


Of course they will get ‘fixed’ over enough time. Neighborhoods change. What is now the bougie upper east side used to be squalid tenements. However if all those bougie kids end up in a charter instead, don’t be surprised when performance doesn’t budge much. Its basically hollywood accounting, the schools overall aren’t any better or worse, you merely concentrate the worst performers in one area to ostensibly improve stats in another. You don’t need a for profit charter system to do that if that is the goal.
