[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you guys are overreacting to the use of the term choice sets at all.  A proximity preference that gives a leg up and allows parents to consider nearby schools is reasonable.[/quote]

No, it is not, even if it gives me just a 5% chance that I will have to buy again a car to drive my kids to school every morning.

You do not make a success story worse. The trade-off situation (you cannot improve a situation without making it worse for some) was just created by the DME and her incompetent advisors. 
1. You can and must (with all the money we give you in taxes) improve the situation, at the right time  not when it too late,  without creating trade-off. 
2. You should not pursue a change when there's apparent and large chances that the end results will be, instead, make the situation worse for some, and not significantly better for others.

Remember, Ward 3 is full of families who would just turn back to the private schools in a snap. We desperately need them to stay in DCPS. We need their volonteering time, their money to our PTAs, their human capital, and their good kids. You like it or not.

Expelling those families from DCPS (they will not accept chances) will harm us all. Stoddert, Key, Mann etc parents know what I am talking about.
