[quote=Anonymous]I really wish this crazy train of social engineering and demanding overnight changes would slow down so that we could all get past this next lottery and see how it shakes out. I really think that there will be a fair jump in the number of families who are satisfied with their lottery results based on the incremental changes that have been made in the last couple of years (requiring rankings in lottery picks, dropping folks from waitlists for schools ranked behind any they got into, the move towards a unified lottery, etc.). Plus, there are schools quietly making gains--and I don't mean in testing scores so much as I do in reputation, trustability, being welcoming to higher SES families (ie: Powell). Why can't we allow those schools to continue their upward trend and assist them further through resources...not by ramming it down throats. Does My School DC plan to do a survey of lottery recipients to see how they feel about their result? Could we please get a good assessment of the state of things NOW before making enormous changes? Who are all these pundits coming out of the woodwork and writing about what my child needs while sitting smugly from their home offices in Bethesda or wherever?! Whose payroll are these people on? What committees, task forces, or boards of directors are they sitting on that are influencing what they are preaching. I have to unplug from all of this crazy talk for a while. [/quote]
