This has been a big change and not so much. I explain my take on this over and over every day, so I thought that I would write about it here. It is “big”, because parents and the district recognized that encouraging diversity in all of the 11 middle schools in the district would benefit everyone; the students, the schools, and the community. It was also an enthusiastic nudge for parents to look past the few well known popular favorites…and it has worked pretty well.
