[quote=Anonymous]It's only a benefit to a few hill families [b]who don't want to support their IB schools to give proximity preference[/b]. As previously stated, that's an undue benefit for a tiny few and an undue burden to the vast majority.

There's a very good reason DCPS and everyone else in the city is glad it's going to be a city-wide school with no neighborhood preference. [b]You can't support the schools you have, you certainly don't need an advantage at any more.[/b]

What about a few Hill families who do want to support the IB schools but found the job unworkable?  We toughed it out at L-T for two long years so spare us your holier than thou screed, PP.  Supporting L-T is a mountain very few IB can climb because DCPS has stacked the deck against relative newcomers to the neighborhood (read most of the IB parents of 3-11 year olds).  If Kaya cracked down on address cheating and installed at least semi-competent leadership at L-T, we'd have a chance of building a decent IB school, but they don't so we don't.  With proximity at SWS, at least some L-T families would have an automatic out, rather than being at the mercy of the charter lotteries to stay in the neighborhood.  The "advantage" you want to deny us would benefit the neighborhood and the school in a big way.   How bad could it be?
