[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think the second option - eliminating boundaries and have a lottery for MS and HS - is a real solution. It doesn't make any sense and takes the choice out of the hands of families.  I don't think we need more lotteries, we just need more stellar options and offerings.  What I can't understand is why there hasn't been any real movement to improve programming so that more schools are up to par with desirable schools.[/quote]

That might be true, but [b]folks are actually proposing this in focus groups[/b].  Maybe they are not serious, but I doubt that.  I'd just like to hear a more nuanced view than what I have heard so far.[/quote]

What folks?  People from DCPS? OSSE?  Or Joe Schmo, who lives in Ward 4 and is pissed that Deal/Wilson are no longer the options he thought they were?  There's a world of difference.  There's someone on DCUM who proposes to outlaw private schools.  There's another who is obsessed with the President's purported scent.  They may well be serious, but who cares?  [/quote]
