[quote=Anonymous]I know the conventional wisdom here is change very little, just make my good school less crowded and let me get into whatever school I want to, but for most of DC, the options are not very good.  The current system is not working NOW, and it makes sense to move on everything we can move on as soon as possible, not wait until Drew Elementary has 70% proficiency or something.  I hope that people realize that there are problems now and that big-picture solutions are needed NOW for most of the city.  The underserved students today are tomorrow's missed opportunities - criminals, the unemployable, people in need of social services.  People who have kids before they have the income and security to take care of them well.

I want a system that works for everyone.  Most people here want a system that works for them, and that makes me sad.

So, scream away, and I'm sorry to occasion a bunch of crazy responses, but I felt like I had to offer just one counterpoint to the "who moved my cheese?" vibe often permeating this forum, especially during this time of boundary and feeder discussions.  I want change for the good of all our city, and not just "predictability" for part of it.[/quote]
