[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all seem so entitled to tell someone to move to a better school district. Why do you assume that everyone is able to? My in boundary is Turner Elementary. Have you even heard of it? Have you even been on THAT side of the river? Do you have any idea how good or bad the school and ECE programs are over there? And do you really think all residents of Congress Heights can just move to a better school district if they feel like it? Stop being judgemental on this often awful forum and stop making someone feel bad for wanting to lottery into a better school. Even for preschool.[/quote]

Yes, I've heard of it, know where it is, have been to THAT side of the river. No, I don't think that people can just move easily. The point is that it is increasingly difficult to simply lottery into a better school and that if your in bounds school is categorically not an option for you, then it's probably a good idea to put as much energy into figuring out where you can move that has schools you would send your children to as you would into constructing a dream lottery list that likely won't result in your kid going anywhere other than you IB school.

It's very privlidged to tell someone just to move. And do not come back with "if you care about your child's education" or "if you have high expectations for your child". Every single parent I've seen in my child's ward 8 school wants a good education for their children. They can't just up and move so it's really rude to flippantly tell people here to do it. There are some people here without the means to do it. Yes we are here and yes we care about our kids education. [/quote]
