[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an SWS parent of two (PK4 and 1st) and I do not know a single parent here -- not a single one -- who is in favor of proximity preference. Maybe it's because we're already in and we no longer care, but I think for the most part we understand that it's not good for the community at large, and everyone thinks the one guy agitating for it is pretty annoying.[/quote]

SWS parent here ( not the guy you are maligning ) and I am in favor of proximity preference purely because I believe it is what is best for the culture and the health of the school.  It is good for the school to have immediate neighbors invested and good for the neighbors to feel welcomed by the nearest traditional public DCPS ( I don't feel the same way about charter schools. That's different ).  I am in favor of giving immediate neighbors the choice to attend SWS on a proximity preference or, if they don't think the curriculum is a good fit, to attend their assigned DCPS elementary.  I know there are other arguments for what happens to the demographics of the school, availability of slots and effect on Ludlow Taylor. But I keep returning to what is best for the long term health of SWS. Immediate community engagement is.[/quote]
