I am tired of paying for someone else to have a private school education

How is it fair to allow poor and minority schools to fail while other schools directly benefit from that failure? Why are we still having these conversations about how to solve this? There is no way to justify the two-tiered system we have in our schools, the history is clear.
Make people go to their neighborhood school starting with current 7th graders and year after next's K-6 grandfathering people who have already transferred but only until the 8th grade and then they have to go to their neighborhood high school. Put community organizers and community partnerships together to ease and guide the transitions of neighborhoods blending into one school and then continue to engage and include families in the decision making process.
