[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish charter schools didn't exist. If they were outlawed tomorrow, my neighborhood school would basically immediately become great. However, because they exist, and because I got into a good one, I'm going to use it. [/quote] If charter schools didn't exist with their solid 15 year history in the District of Columbia, you would also not be enjoying the results of the citywide gentrification that has come along with it. Your neighborhood school would not necessarily be better, those families would have left for the suburbs. You would not have the great playgrounds, you would not have dog parks, you would not have the award winning restaurants you enjoy on the weekend.[/quote] Gentrification is not driven by parents. It's driven by childless yuppies and DINKs. Just look at where gentrification is happening now. Do you see a lot of high SES parents moving to Ivy City?[/quote]
