The brouhaha about NYC’s “grading” of public schools produces yet another politician describing the ability of students to transfer as a result of a poor performing school.

Just once I’d like a reporter to hold one of these politicos’ feet to the fire and demand direct answers about where these kids might transfer: the well-protected middle-class magnet? The suburban rancher with a carport and low class-sizes?

Sorry, family, these schools are C-L-O-S-E-D to you.
