[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the drawbacks of so-called school choice is that some people will make choices you won't agree with.  [b]Unless, of course, you get to choose who gets a choice and what choices they are allowed to make.[/b] [/quote]

Well put. They apparently wish they had that power.  [/quote] I don't want that power. I do wish parents would think a bit about consequences for on school and only enroll if it is possible they'd stay if school is good enough. Wotp chartermom above is great example. No problem with her [/quote]

Riddle me this. What if you chose a school and then people fled (either because of leadership change or any other reason). Now your kid is in a subpar school. But if you leave that will make it worse for the kids you leave behind. Are you required to leave your kid in a diminishing educational environment? If you think that makes you a bigger person then so be it. My kids are more important than your faux principles.[/quote] of course you leave if the school isn't good enough, as long as you enrolled with the possibility of staying, which jklm parents dont. [b]Most people charter into their 3rd or worse choice with the possibility of staying if it is a fantastic fit. Happened to us. Our school was 6th choice and yet we didn't play lottery this year. [/b]That is the difference

I think this is where you are wrong. Most people don't judge a school by their prek3 experience, they make decisions based on the long-term perspective.[/quote]

Which is why JKLM should stay out of EOTP DCPS. Go charters all you want, but don't duck into our schools just to abandon them when you reach K.  No matter how involved you were when you were there, we are better off without you and your spawn.[/quote]
