SF public school advocacy is on fire

Apropos of nothing, I'm quoting from an anonymous comment on the Oakland Tribune's education blog:
Aren’t some of the above comments the same as what existed in SF not too long ago? That there were only 5 good schools+Lowell and your kids will become criminals if they don’t get into one of them? Something has changed in SF — the public school advocacy is on fire and there really does seem to be a huge shift in attitudes regarding public schools. Do you have any insight as to what caused this to happen? I hope that this is achievable in Oakland as well at least in some of the up and coming neighborhoods (Temescal and Diamond Heights). Oakland would do well to create a PPS (Parents for Public School) chapter...

Caroline, there has been a post in the Coalition of Oakland Parents Yahoo Group this morning from someone who is interested in looking into starting an Oakland chapter of PPS based on your post that PPS was the catalyst for change in SF. Just FYI. You can join the group by looking up oaklandpublicschoolparents in Yahoo Groups.
