[quote=Anonymous][quote]And here's the crux of it, if everyone could just go everywhere all the schools would be bad. T[b]he schools in upper NW or WOTP are only good because they are exclusive it has nothing to do with the schools or the teachers it's to do with the children, poverty, and economics. [/b]Trust me the skills and teaching expertise the teachers have in some of the worst schools in DC are amazing; however, they get no credit due to the test scores. Let it be a free for all and know one will be clamoring to go anywhere just like the suggestion for WOTP teachers to go EOTP. It would be an interesting social experiment and maybe in 10-15 years it would all work out but I know that most residents would not support it, I wonder why? [/quote]

And this poster says the quiet part loud.  Those most incensed about possible boundary fraud are worried that they will lose something if they are forced to share with someone who is unworthy.  There is a nasty, racist undertone to these do-gooders looking to ferret out fraud in their neighborhood schools.

OP - I'm so sorry that you had such a terrible experience both in your home, and with this investigation.  I can completely understand how it felt to realize that someone in this community that you felt a part of chose to hone in on you as a target.  I was mugged several years ago, and still remember the feeling when that person turned their attention to me.  That was the worst part of the experience - coming into the gaze and awareness of someone who meant me harm.  [/quote]
