[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I know you can't force people to attend their in-bound school, but I wish you could[/b] - maybe the city could give some kind of tax credit for attending your neighborhood school if it is currently less than a certain percentage in bounds and meets other criteria and possibly give them a weighted better chance of OOB lottery if the whole experiment fails and they end up re-imposing OOB lottery. [/quote] That's a really disturbing statement. I'm going on record for not forcing people to make major decisions in their lives against their will. Would you also force women to have pregnancies they don't want? I don't see tax credits helping as an incentive. Most of the families you want to "force" are the kind of families who prioritize their children's education above all else. You're not going to find enough of a tax credit to trump that.[/quote]
