[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but wouldn't this be so much simpler if we all just went back to the simple way of fixing things: If you want to go to school in a nice neighborhood, buy a house there. THAT is the price of admisssion. Period. Then once the dust settles, let every Ward fix its own schools; they are then true " community schools"[/quote] The irony of what you are saying is that vis-a-vis Deal, there are families in Wards 1 and 4 that bought in the right neighborhoods and there are families in Palisades and Spring Valley that didn't. Apparently, families in Palisades and Spring Valley don't like being told that they should have bought homes in better neighborhoods. So, their solution is to get a new school built for them. But, I agree with you that they should either go to their inbounds school, apply out-of-bounds, enter charter lotteries, or go private. Those are the same options most families in the city face.
