[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re-draw the boundaries for WOTP schools to reduce the number of IB students, actually implement a 20% at-risk set aside for these schools, send all the other OOBs back to their IB and [b]force[/b] other families to use their IB if they are in DCPS.  The at-risk kids would have the right to go through to HS. Anyone who moves OOB can stay through that school year and then has to move to their IB - no principal discretion.

But DCPS/OSSE/the Mayor have no stomach for the hard choices that would benefit at-risk kids and kids IB for non-WOTP schools.  [/quote]

And that is why what you present as an easy peasy solution will fail every time. You can’t force families who have other options to send their children to a failing school. Will never happen. [/quote]

Of course it’s not easy hence “hard choices.”  Part of why these are hard choices is that they will piss people off and many will choose to leave. That’s the price we would pay for a system that better serves more students. [/quote]
