[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's ideologically consistent for all DCPS bilingual elementaries to feed to a single middle and high school (MacFarland/Roosevelt). The fact that shifting Bancroft and Adams takes a few dozen kids out of the Wilson feeder pattern is an added benefit, but the real benefit will accrue to MacFarland and Roosevelt, to younger families IB for Oyster if Adams becomes additional elementary space (thus allowing for another few PK classrooms), and to families living outside the Oyster boundary who might stand a chance of getting in to a bilingual program through the lottery.[/quote]

It is indeed ideologically consistent for Oyster and Bancroft to feed into a bi-lingual middle school.  But if we're making a wish list here, it is more ideologically consistent for these to be specialty schools rather than neighborhood ones.   You get access to bilingual education (or conversely it is forced upon you) because of your address?[/quote]

Hear hear!

Dual language programs should be determined by city-wide lotteries, and distributed as evenly as possible in every Ward of the city. Expand the boundaries of neighborhood schools to absorb those who wouldn't want to travel.
