Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

I don't think this is going anywhere. People send their kids to the school that's closest to their home. It's the homes that should be more integrated.
I think San Francisco is more integrated like that as a result of its hilly landscape. The rich like to live on the hills, and the poor get pushed to the valley, but since there are so many hills, rich and poor are interspersed in close proximity.
In Burlington we have the hill section, and we also have the beach so the money gets spread around here too. And let me ask you something- What's the "socio" part there for? We're talking about economic status. The baseline metric for all this bullshit is the percentage of the student body of each school living under the poverty line, so don't try to tell me there's some sociological aspect of this that isn't derived from the economic aspect itself. We're talking about class.
They might as well just come out and say they've got a utopian scheme to mix up children from different classes because they believe this will serve to...what? I don't know- lead to greater equality in the future? Raise the prospects and opportunities of all kids? Who knows?
But in the end if we do this it will probably mean a ton of paperwork and a lot of extra money spent on gasoline, and sure as shit even within the same school the kids will segregate themselves by "socio-economic" status faster than a ten year old kid in Rome can pick your pocket.

nice breakdown, all very true, hadn't really known what to think on this. But you've nailed it.
I grew up poor in the Old North End and went to Edmunds instead of Barnes, I don't know if that was a good thing or not. On the one hand I was ostracized and made aware of the importance placed on class way too young - which was sad but I got a much better education academically then I would have at Barnes.
In the end it all evens out as we only have one High School. Middle school was what sucked - it was boring, I got in trouble a lot - the teachers mostly spent their time catching the Barnes and Wheeler kids up to Champlain and Edmunds kids.
I like the thinking here. They want to bus kids in and out of neighborhoods, making it more difficult for people without cars to get to their children's schools.
This may look better on paper and I think that is the whole idea.
I couldn't agree more. The entire SEI scheme, to my mind, has been a mechanism to convince people to support increased budgets..."Don't want to pay? We'll have to send those darn North Street kids to your school.."
What it's morphed into is the idea that if we all sit in a circle and sing kumbaya, we'll create some mystic synergy that will get poor kids better grades. The question is, why don't ONE students perform better? Why can't the school system place the resources where needed, not move the kids to where the resources are?
Where we are now is Superintendent Collins seems to have discovered a way out of this mess..almost. One plan she's proposed is to simply combine Barnes and Wheeler into one unit, so all ONE (and some Ward One) students attend both schools during Grades 1 through 5. The problem is, the Ward One parents are quite satisfied with Edmunds.
I've worked at Wheeler and at Edmunds Elementary as a para and in my opinion, they are both great schools. That is not to say they are exactly the same- of course they are not...they each have their own character...

My only question is, how fast can a ten year old kid in Rome pick your pocket?
Great post, Haik.
