[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It seems to me that the people who live in Potomac or Bethesda are considered the wealthier citizens of the county. And if they had to go into a county wide lottery, there would be a good chance that those people might pull their children out of the lottery system and choose other educational opportunities. If the local residents were not a part of the W schools, what would that leave you and what benefit would other students gain? [/quote] 1. Nobody, even on this thread, is proposing a county-wide lottery. 2. If the residents of Bethesda, Potomac, and Chevy Chase were not a part of the schools in Bethesda, Potomac, and Chevy Chase, that would leave me exactly where I am now. The argument seems to be that the poor kids have to stay in their high-poverty schools because otherwise rich parents will pull their children out of the public schools. Sorry, poor kids. The preferences of rich parents are more important than your education.[/quote]
