[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, introducing uncertainty into which ES your child will go to will undermine the great success stories of functional DCPS elementary schools. [/quote]

Wait where's the uncertainty?  You would get inboundary preference.[/quote]

"Choice sets." See the title of this thread. Uncertainty is the death knell. [/quote]

+1. if the proximity preference is so strong that you get the close school for sure, than is the same system we have now, where kids get a spot at their IB school. if you are not certain anymore, than it's a big problem. I leave one block from Lafayette and the schools in the choice set are lafatette, Murch and Janney. they are equivalent, so is not that I would get a better school by not getting into our IB school. so instead of having my kids walk 100 yeards to school with all the other kids in the block, we may have to drive them to Janney in Tenleytown every day, with kids that live as far as Mass avenue. and for what, since our IB school works great. apparently the choice set system does not even help people with crappy schools becausd it seems that there are people with three crappy schools in their set. and people with a good school and a crappy one would probably go private or charter if they can. I am going to vote for Catania over Bowser just for this reason. she said choice set is a good thing. REALLY???[/quote]
