SF School Board member acknowledges there are "winners and losers".

[RandySF]

This is what drives me up a fucking wall when it comes to the San Francisco School District.

School board members Rachel Norton and Sandra Fewer have proposed giving neighborhood kids priority over those living in low-performing census tracts, and expect to have a full board vote next month. They'd like the new scheme to be in place for the 2015-16 school year.

Norton said she thinks she has enough votes and that the e-mail she's received since announcing her plan is 4-1 in favor of it.

"We've tried 100 different ways to solve this problem, and we haven't cracked it yet," she said. "The trick is to minimize the unfairness so that the winners and losers at least feel they were treated fairly."

1. Her solution of giving "neighborhood kids" priority

will quickly sort out the winners and losers, demographically.

No doubt that's all these two care about.

3. There are two ends.

At one end are the people who depend on what is best from a public education system, and at the other end are the people who demand that the private educators that they employ are pushed to their limits to give *their* kid an advantage. There's no overlap. One group can afford whatever it takes. The other group has to rely on their taxes, from all levels, to provide sufficient funding, and on the good will of people in general, including teachers.

From what I can see the US is going as much toward 100% private as possible to take it. I mean: as a bipartisan project.
