[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard someone on the radio today who said the fairest proposed system would be to randomly assign students to particular DCPS schools, to assure a mixture of more affluent students and disadvantaged students. So a student in AU Park (and their siblings) might be assigned a spot in Ward 8 and a kid from Barry Farm could go to Janney.[/quote]

I really, really hope they do it. It is the fairest thing![/quote]

This is truly a moronic sentiment. Do you think this will result in improved schools anywhere? Do you think?

The high-performing schools will be cratered and will collapse. The low-performing school will see no change most likely, or a negative change as the motivated families from the low-performing schools replace the fleeing families from the high-performing schools.

I don't understand how this is not immediately obvious.

By the way, do you also think the quarter-million that the PTA at Murch has in the bank, or the quarter-million that Mann raises each year should be redistributed too? It is the fairest thing! [/quote]
