[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IF you can guarantee a spot for my 3 kids at the Charter 4 blocks away from my house I'm all for it, but that can't be done.

I don't feel like parents should be forced to do a long commute just for a Charter School.

Are they suggesting neighborhood preference for Charters? I think they axed that during the DME process.[/quote]

[b]No one is 'forced' to do a long commute for a charter. [/b]Just like no one is 'forced' to attend their neighborhood school. Having a choice isn't the same as having a convenient choice.

Separately the idea of a neighborhood preference for charters predates the DME process of last year. Just because it lost there doesn't mean its proponents won't try to resurrect it. And many charter folks will continue to oppose it. [/quote]

NP. I think you are incorrect. If charters take over DCPS as they desire, there are no in-bound schools.  Charters are lottery based and you get what you get in the lottery. A parent could choose the twelve closest schools to their home and still end up without a clear match. [/quote]
