[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1680016, member: 38590"] It's not really unraveling the policy, it's an attempt to try to preserve the working of the policy as originally intended. One side effect of open enrollment has been that kids from some of the rougher neighborhoods were able to start showing up at schools in the wealthy suburbs. Of course, some of the natives of those wealthy school districts were unhappy about "those people" enrolling in their schools, so they came up with a new way to segregate: "public" charter schools, with interviews and subjective admissions. There's nothing inherently discriminatory about forming a school for "gifted" kids, but it is awfully convenient how the son of the guy who owns the bank is always deemed "gifted" while the son of the third shift hotel cleaner is not. This move is an attempt to pinch those charter schools. It's ham fisted and I'm not sure it's going to have the intended effect, but I appreciate the thought, I guess. Public schools should be for everyone. [/QUOTE]
