[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would controlled choice work for someone who is currently IB for Mann or Key-they are not near metro's.  Do people really think all those parents will drive across town?  NO they will sell their homes and move right to Bethesda or Mclean.  Hopefully lots of DINK's want 3-4 bedroom homes not near a metro.  [/quote]

I do not think that they will impose controlled choice on elementary schools in upper NW where all the schools are good.  What is the point, fairness in imposing chaos?  There are no schools that are low enrollment that will benefit and it will likely reduce the number of OOB seats available in the two that take significant number of OOB students.  Those tow schools are thriving and providing a good option to children with a sub par IB school, this would lessen the number of available seats WOTP.
 
I could see it at the middle school level, but if they are distributing the students currently bound for Deal or Hardy to a "controlled choice" between Deal and Hardy that is less troubling than a citywide lottery.  I think it would, however, really anger those families that rely on Hardy as an solid OOB option because it would reduce the number of seats that are available to OOB students.  [/quote]
