This is loosely related to all the "cheating" threads. The DOE has been working to centralize placement so that parents and schools can't game the system. A clear and stated motive is to steer parents toward their local schools. There is a petition circulating about this, however it primarily focuses on the administrative failings which could easily be fixed. The more serious question has to do with the feelings of "powerlessness" that parents are continuously expressing on this board. This centralization seems to be exacerbating that feeling, heightening the urge to run from, rather than work with, the system. How can parents win back the power? Can we simultaneously keep the system "fair"? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]
