[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Charters essentially allow, without forcing, bussing (without the bus). If not for the lack of neighborhood priority, these poverty-stricken children would have no opportunity for a good education.[/quote] My children are at charters. One of the reasons we went this route is the school make-up looks a lot more like how we hope the world will look than our IB school does. (our IB choices are very desireable). We would not have gone the charter route if it was going to become a defacto neighborhood school for a variety of reasons. I am sorry that families are shut out of schools that are near by and may better suit their needs. But I am also concerned that there are a lot of things that would need to be worked out and not confident that the charters or OSSE could manage them. As based on a lot of threads on DCUM - schools can not effectively identify who lives in DC - how can they manage who lives nearby?[/quote]
