[quote=Anonymous]The other thing about the DC system is that parents don't find out if they were accepted into the program until the late spring, often after the enrollment deadlines for the elite private schools have passed. So they either have to take the chance of losing the $500 or $1000 deposit required by the schools or else it really limits the private schools available to them. I work with these families at a social services agency and trust me, I want what is best for them. This program is smoke and mirrors- I've visited many of the voucher-funded private schools. In many cases these schools are way worse than some of the lowest performing public schools in the city. And parents are told that private are better option- but we aren't talking Sidwell/Gonzaga/NCS etc. There is no oversight and it's astounding.[/quote]
