[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, whether you agree with it or not, diversity is a topic that has been brought up over and over again when talking about boundary reassignments. Calling the proximity question "social engineering" is overly dramatic. The fact is that there are very few non-sibling seats available at SWS. Should those automatically go to a handful of neighbors? Who happen to be overwhelmingly wealthy and white? Or should they be available to children from all over the city? The arguments for proximity preference for a CITYWIDE program are, in my opinion, pretty flimsy. For this same reason, I am 100 percent against neighborhood preference for charter schools. People can already buy their way into good school boundaries; let's leave the citywide programs as true lotteries in which every District child, not just the ones who can afford to live on a certain street, has a shot.[/quote] +1. Exactly.[/quote]
