[quote=Anonymous]This is a great article. I wish it were about DC so I could better understand the specifics of how things go this way here, exactly. But the dynamics are exactly the same. My IB is PS 191, basically. Although there is no 2.7 million apartment next door, but still. I feel it boils down to policy, not individual free will sacrifices and "choice". Policy must force integration and yet we have no appetite for this. I'm at least glad that charters here do tend to be diverse in both racial and SES, though not matching the city. A shocking detail for me was learning that at our low performing IB, most parents listed it as their first choice in the lottery. That to me indicates they don't know anything about other options. Of course those options are only for the lottery "winners" or those who can make sense of the system and invest time into that. [/quote]
