[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC needs to go all-lottery for HS[/quote]

If you want to see well-off people make a run for the exits, that would be an excellent way to do it. [/quote]

+100.  Many middle and UMC families would leave the city.  They can easily go to VA and MD and gat tracking.  No one is going to wait around for the lottery and take a risk on high school.  Real estate prices fall, city loses property taxes, etc...[/quote]

Sad that racism is still this strong.[/quote]

Do you have kids?  Do you honestly believe that it's racist to not want to send your kids to a high school with a 3% PARCC pass rate for math?  If so, you are delusional.

Systematic racism, implicit bias and straight up old fashioned bigotry are a huge problem, but calling parents with options racists for not signing on to an utterly failing school doesn't help anybody.  I'm pretty sure that most parents at Anacostia would send their kids elsewhere if they had the option.[/quote]

Sad you don’t understand the existing research. For an educated crowd here, it’s pretty stupid. And yes, there is still systemic racism when schools are tied to real estate.[/quote]
