[quote=Anonymous]"Wouldn't the fairest system be one in which children enrolled in DCPS are randomly assigned to DC schools, so that schools throughout DC are pretty balance racially and economically? Plus it would create a strong incentive for more educated, affluent parents to advocate for more $$ for the less desirable schools, especially if their children were assigned there. No more "in bounds" or "out of bounds." Need to think more along lines of "One City" no longer "my ward" or "my neighborhood."" That's done in other big cities - Boston and San Francisco, for example - and it pretty much has backfired, doing nothing to fix the poorly performing schools. Basically, the affluent families who get in the good schools stay, and the ones that get into the poorly performance schools move to the suburbs or use privates. [/quote]
