[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scarcity of options is, in my opinion, what drives their desirability. Its not that hard to “opt” into the lottery in Arlington and then parents get all hot and bothered about being in or being out. If the emphasis was neighborhood schools, perhaps the overall public education system would be better. [/quote] I would say that the emphasis IS neighborhood schools and that's why we have such a segregated system. If we weren't so "neighborhood" focused, we'd have boundaries or rank choice admissions that "equalize" all the schools and there wouldn't be as much "need" or desire for options beyond actual pedagogically different programs like immersion.[/quote]
