For example, they look for people with similar U U 6 /U /Uand from similar regions to those of all the voters. Pollsters also ask questions that try to determin

36、the family budget started feeling the recessions pinch last year, Angela Allyn and her photographer husband, Matt Dinnerstein, pulled their three kids out of Chicago-area private schools and enroled them in Evanston, Ill., public schools. It has been a challenging transition: Maya, 16, now a high sc
37、hool sophomore, “doesnt like crowdsand her high school is as big as a small college,“ her mother says. Though Maya is learning a lot in the “amazing“ science program, shes also hoping to leave the crowds behind by doubling up on coursework, graduating by the end of junior year “and then going and do
38、ing interesting things“, Allyn says. Her younger children face their own challenges, from bullying (恃强凌弱) to sheer boredom.B. The transition also has been an education for Mayas parents, who say they had “no choice“ in the struggling economy but to switch to public schools. Theyre saving about $20,0
39、00 a year in tuition, but like many former private-school families, theyre coming face-to-face with larger class sizes and the public school bureaucracy as they push to get services for their children. “We ask a lot of questionswe follow up on things,“ says Allyn, a former professional dancer whos t

41、ducational mission. But parents and educators across the nation say its already bringing subtle changes to the culture of many public schools as some families seek the personal attention they received from private schools.D. Private-school parents typically find that the structure of public schools
42、takes some getting used to. In most states, funding for public schools is calculated on a per-student basis, based on average student counts during the first few weeks of the school year. If a student drops out after 40 days, the funding that student generated stays with the schooleven if he or she
43、does not return to that campus. Private schools, on the other hand, risk losing tuition payments once a student leaves. “Private schools tend to treat you more like a customer than the public schools,“ Allyn says. Public schools are “going to get their tax dollars whether or not you as a parent are
44、upset. If youre in a private school and you yank your kid out, thats a lot of money walking out the (private schools) door.“E. Enrolment figures for the current school year wont be available until next year, but the US Department of Educations latest estimate finds that in the last three years, publ
45、ic school enrolment grew by nearly a half-million students, or about 1%, while private school enrolment dropped by about 146,000, or 2.5%. Government projections find that private schools could lose an additional 28,000 students this year, while public schools should gain 246,000.A boost for public
46、schools?F. Stories about how the troubled economy is hurting public schools are plentiful these days: Many schools are cutting teaching positions and programs. The Los Angeles Unified School District, the USAs second-largest, laid off 2,000 teachers last spring and may need to lay off 5,000 more employeesincluding 1,500 teachersnext fall.G. But could the recession benefit public schools in the end by bringing in new clients? “In a way, its a good thing f
