The difference between Kipp and public school, as I understand it, is that the Kipp program "Demands" performance. Seems simple enough to me. How is that not fast tracking? You fail to perform, you're gone. What mechanism does public education have to compare with that?

You talk of opportunity for all. Hell yes!! But it's a horse-to-water scenario. No drink once. OK. No drink twice OK. No drink thrice....get out of here.
Results are proportionate to effort and "I don't care" is the end of the line.
