[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I love about the preschool frenzy is that the entire reason DCPS has the program is to help low income families. But it's the high SES folks who get hot and bothered about their access to it. Turns out- us poor folk have done a thing or two for ya'll! [/quote]

That is absolutely not the reason that DCPS has the program. If it were, it would means-test the program. It specifically has a program for all because it wants people to invest in their neighborhood schools, especially underperforming ones. For people who are IB for an underperforming school (or, like mine is, failing) to scam the system--not reside IB for a better school but claim to do so--means that the new school has to take a family that isn't IB and that the neighborhood school by where the family actually lives loses a family that could be investing time and energy to improve the school.

Hey, as someone who is sending her kid to HD Cooke, one of the worst schools in the city, I would love to send my kid WOTP to a school. But I'm not going to do it by lying. I will either get in OOB or I won't--and for now, we're investing a LOT of time and energy into Cooke, which is helping the school get better. [/quote]
