He is a kind, quiet and shy boy who would not do good in a zone school therefore I would like him to achieve enrollment in a school that is made for him which most likely will be impossible in this area since the schools he would like to be in will more than likely not accept him. It is so unfair and sad. I am glad I am not alone in this matter and do hope one day there will be change. Thank you.

We go through all of the required procedures, selected our top 5 middle schools and still got placed in a school we did not list, let alone got to visit due to the short time constraints. Very frustrating! Then we selected a charter school, that we did visit, not knowing that once we did, we forfeit our seat in the DOE school we were placed in. That was not clearly explained in forums, open houses, by parent coordinators, DOE issued literature...no where. Then we tried to appeal and still didn't get our requested choice. Then what's the point of all of these systems in place if they are not going to work in the favor of the student or parent? Very upsetting and aggravating process!

He is a good student & eager to learn, but he is being forced to think about ranking schools because he has been made to feel (correctly) that he might not get into a school that he likes - in his neighborhood preferably, not focused on standardized tests or any other one-size-fits-all model. I believe that children should be able to get into their local schools, w/ the caveat that provisions be made to ensure an economically & racially integrated population. Given that stipulation, all schools - not just the prestigious ones - should have arts, sciences, language, physical education, & electives, as well as proper counseling resources for those who need it. Why aren't all of these things basic givens?
