More School Choice Questions From Parents

Patricia Willens:

We were not able to get to all the audience questions at the SchoolBook community event in Brooklyn on Thursday night. Here is a sampling of 10 of them. Keep the conversation going on your school pages and with SchoolBook editors. We will do our best to get some answers for you.

Meanwhile, the video above was shown during the event at the Pratt Institute. See what the students have to say about the choice process.

What happens to students that schools don't "compete" for?

Why do all the kids have to be tutored to get into the specialized schools?

I just moved to Harlem and found out I'm in District 5 with almost no choice for middle schools. Why is this?

Why were the neighborhood schools discontinued? MetroCards and buses are very expensive.

Why don't you see which principals have success and copy their idea and fire the incompetent ones?
