This link to a discussion about controlled choice was just posted on my neighborhood list serve.  So far just an idea, but it could grow legs. These people talk about starting it in strategic areas of the city.  From the twitter reactions is seems that Rhee's organization Student First is itching to get this idea implemented.  And if you don't think the people who back Rhee don't have influence over what happens in the Petri dish of Washington DC you are mistaken.

Thank you!  In this context, let me also point you to this article on the Washington Post:

"...Michelle Rhee — is leading a new wave of “education reform” organizations, funded largely by wealthy donors, that are challenging teachers’ unions and supporting mostly conservative candidates up and down the ticket in dozens of states.
These groups promote charter schools, voucher programs and weakening of employment safeguards like teacher tenure.....""
