[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That source should be posted to many threads.[/quote] I agree because it is the definitive rejoinder to the but but but but! defenders who say with a straight face that [i]nobody[/i] in CharterWorld cherry picks anymore -- not since we all went to common lottery / myschoolDC. :D :D :D :D :D Sunshine and unicorns! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :!: It's true that everyone can participate in the Common Lottery, so long as they have prior knowledge of the lottery process and the ability to get to a public library, get a library CARD using your gov't issued ID, and then log on to the free DC Public Library computers. Everyone in the city [i]technically[/i] has the same chance now to win a spot at any school. Reliably getting [b]to[/b] that school? Not a level playing field and I'll never be convinced otherwise. Staying in that school and not getting bounced back into DCPS? See data in the WaPo link. [/quote] If they are in the school and are a nuisance, then why shouldn't they be kicked out?[/quote] Because it's compulsory public school and not Miss Winthrop Worthington's Finishing School for Manners and Charm? Do you not live in the United States? Seriously curious. This kind of question is something my Ghanaian friend would ask. [/quote] Don't kids get expelled from public schools all over the USA? Do you not possess the ability to think critically, or to refrain from spurious questions in response to an opinion that differs from your own?[/quote]
