[quote=Anonymous]I read the article. Agree with PP that it sounds so much like DC. Whenever someone has invested in a community by consciously buying a home in a particular school boundary and it gets changed, that represents a broken promise and most families with means will not accept the lower quality alternative offered. There is study upon study and we hear the same reasonable arguments with the data behind it again and again, but at the end of the day, you want to provide for your child the best way you can so families of means will always refuse a less ideal solution if they have alternatives. It's not rocket science. As someone said above, if you really want to force integration (whether its racial or socio economic) you'll have to force it...and even when you force it, people will still refuse by going private or moving. And solutions like "controlled-choice" would just be new opportunities to work the system in DC. [/quote]
