[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They do it to get the funding.  It covers a lot of stuff that you probably like.

You're never going to have 18, that is wasteful and less than the teaching contract agrees to.[/quote]

It’s a zero sum game though.  Overcrowding WOTP pulls money away from EOTP schools. Half the OOB students in our WOTP school are white with highly educated parents.  They should be at their homes schools. It’s total madness. [/quote]

Don’t have the players, hate the game.

U til and unless there is an at risk preference, anyone of any race is allowed to enter the lottery. [/quote]

This. Plus these highly educated parents might not have any desire to fix their in boundary school. It's not like their only options are WOTP school or crappy EOTP school. They took the option they felt is best. Besides, you have no idea why each family made this decision. Your school might offer something their child needs that isn't offered anywhere else, or there might be something their in boundary school fails to provide but yours does, for example specific SPED resources.

If the administration deems that there's space and/or wants the extra funding, then it's allowable. DCPS is paid for by tax dollars. If a spot is offered to another DC taxpayer, then they have a right to take it. [/quote]

Allowable does not mean it’s a good idea.  DCPS is ripe with many allowable bad ideas.   [/quote]

Whether or not it's a good idea is debatable. If you believe it shouldn't be allowable, then talk to DCPS HQ about it. [/quote]
