Where's the List?

14 schools, it turns out
The Herald lists them.
good schools for non-Roxbury/Dorchester residents
So to get the 5 zone plan, they have to close down these badly-scoring schools, and replace them with schools to which people from outside the neighborhood will want to bus in their kids...
It doesn't matter how bright the paint is on the new schools, the kids who go to them now are going to get the same scores if they just shuffle them out and shuffle them back in.
Circle of Promise
There's a lovely euphemism for you.
Lots of promises ...
and all of them go down into the center of that circle that leads to the sewer.
Promise?
I know, I was thinking it was more like the Circle of Doom for those kids.
failing school...DAMN
It seems forced busing in the 70's really worked didn't it? Look what we have now.
They're not closing any
They're not closing any schools, any more than stores "close" when they dump the winter clothes and put the spring fashions on the racks.
Or for a better analogy, they'll rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.
closing/opening schools
I seem to remember that you couldn't get stimulus money for your regular school budget, but you could get it for school construction.
As much as there is usually
As much as there is usually complete filth on the Globe's comment section regarding anything, it looks like there are many teachers chiming in with very interesting comments after the article.
