Poll results: Not enough good high schools
Parents who responded to our high-school choice poll have strong opinions on the matter: More than half say there aren't enough good schools for students and families to choose from, with demand strongest for progressive, rigorous high schools.
About 20 percent of responders say the system only works well for kids who are lucky enough to have strong adult guidance. Over 15 percent would welcome a return to zoned schools (and less choice). Less than 10 percent of parents say the system works just fine as it's now constructed -- a sharp counterpoint to the Department of Education's claim of86 percent satisfied customers.
This week, we're asking about schools' role in addressing online bullying. Weigh in; we welcome your thoughts.
