Brian, I know I don’t qualify. I did state that. But I also stated that this is a good step in the right direction. I don’t expect Romney to go from 0-100 with one proposal.
The problem you’re describing about a flood of low income students is only there at the beginning. Overtime, there won’t be any flood. New Charter schools will pop up. So are online schools.
I personally want to buy-in from the parents. Which mean, they would have to transport their own kids. I would use bussing as a business. If parents don’t have the time to drive their own kids, they can pay the cost to bus their kids.
I’m sure some parents in CV would not appreciate kids from East San Diego attending schools in their neighborhoods, but all I can say is, too bad. I’ll point them to Preuss school, which have 100% low income students, yet they’re doing better than all public school in SD county.
