[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is inevitable that DC will have to adopt a random lottery placement system for public schools, like in San Francisco. Neighborhood-based schools are inherently exclusionary. Only with a true DC-wide lottery (with diversity adjustments) will DC achieve equity.[/quote] "have to"? how so? NOBODY who is happy with their IB school wants that destroyed. And that's not just high SES white parents. [/quote] Per the DME in 2017 (cited in the report this thread is about) [b]only 27% of students even go to their IB school, [/b] and I doubt 100% of them are happy. [/quote] Agree, but a lot of us are. Destroying functioning (and diverse!) neighborhood schools in the name of diversity would be crazy. Also, what's the IB rate for elementary school? Neighborhood schools are even more important for elementary school, since the proximity allows parents to be more involved (more important in early years). [/quote]
