[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Eaton is to be thrown under, the parents should advocate for the full lottery plan.  That way they'd have at least a chance at a sect school .  Hardy is awful.[/quote]

Great logic. Let's screw the whole damn system if we are unhappy with a completely predictable outcome?

Just go to Hardy, it will get better. Don't vindictively advocate for the nuclear option C.[/quote]

People just want the best for their kids.  A chance at a decent high school education is better than none.  There is little chance at Hardy.[/quote]

Now you see why there is support for choice sets outside of Ward 3. The only difference is the others would give up a kidney for the opportunity to attend Hardy, which you won't consider.

Then let them have the opportunity, as it will likely be better than their other options.  However, for schools that are being moved to Hardy unwillingly, you are forcing them to accept an inferior opportunity compared to what they had before.  [/quote]

You may not know the history of Hardy, which btw, is far from a failing school, but once "they" did get the opportunity. Michelle Rhee, at the behest of inbounds families, changed all that. Now the school is increasingly popular with inbounds families. The drop off from Deal to Hardy is not all that big and probably won't exist at all soon. Come over to my neighborhood where we are being switched from Deal to West. Then talk to me about being forced to accept an inferior opportunity.

Then by all means you should fight it.  There's nothing democratic about how this process is being run.  Instead, it's largely the brainchild of a deputy mayor and her staff who are accountable to no one but a repudiated lame duck mayor.  And one who's under a serious ethical cloud to put it delicately.  [/quote]
