[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lottery for all will only destroy what gains have been made in DC schools.

JKLM school, Brent and similar schools improve based on parent effort in the PTA and at home with their kids. Making every school in DC look like the average school in DC will drive people out.  People invest in their neighborhood school in large part because they are vested in the neighborhood.  Without a strong connection why bother.

I am OOB at a JKLM and I would not want to see IB preference eliminated. I would rather a few OOB slots held while the other schools in the city improve slowly as they are (i.e. Brent, Shepard Park etc etc.)

I suppose its silly to even respond to the idea since it is such a non starter.[/quote]

In DC only the poor suffer with bad schools. The poor are also predominantly AA/black. Why should they get stuck with the craptastic aspects of DCPS? [b]And by "they" I mean the kids who didn't have a say in who their parents are.[/b]
I think they should go for it. Force everyone into the same boat.[/quote]

I would love to meet the kids who *did* have a say in who their parents are--I'm sure they are remarkable![/quote]

:roll: you are so witty.[/quote]
