[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there are only a limited number of "good schools" the fairest way is that every student in DCPS gets the same chance at a slice of the pie -- until you expand the pie.[/quote] The problem is that good schools don't happen at random, as numerous posters in this thread have commented the biggest factor in school quality is the number of proficient students. Proficient students are more likely to come from families that have the resources to abandon DCPS if they are unhappy. Your proposal would be perfectly fair, in that in short order there would be no good schools left in DC. DCPS is faced with a fundamental challenge: do they maximize fairness, or maximize the quality of the schools by appealing to families of proficient students? No easy answer there.[/quote]
