[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]--Because "school choice" has become a buzzword and anything that threatens to limit that is unacceptable. 
--Because there are thousands of children who currently attend DCPS schools OOB and the city has committed to a policy of ensuring continuity for those students.
--Because charters, which don't deal with boudnaries, have changed things, changed thinking. It's easier to imagine doing away with DCPS boundaries altogether than to limit choice. 
--Because allowing children who have joined a cohort and community at one school to stay with that group for middle school and high school is the right thing to do. 
--Because the boundary review process was a long, painful process that solved nothing. 
--Because higher SES families will leave or go private if the overcrowding becomes too problematic. [/quote]

Re the cohort thing, what about the kids that only went to school with their cohort for one year? Or kids that live IB briefly then move away? [/quote]

Well then, institute a policy where no OOB are accepted to elementary schools that feed to Deal (or other over subscribed middle school...Hardy will get there one day soon) for the later grades (4th, 5th).  The new policy that was quietly implemented that allows IB kids to leave their schools and stay is taking us down a path where the destination is no more boundaries for anyone. [/quote]
