[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, I am ok with the exception outlined above. But otherwise, horrible idea. People who can afford to buy near a good neighborhood school can already buy their way into a decent school. The charter school lottery as it exists provides a more level playing field. And these schools are moving around like crazy, which would make it a nightmare.[/quote]

On Capitol Hill many with tiny tots buy cramped homes near the two or three decent elementary schools but buy larger home near crappy ones, hoping for improvement that never comes.  Then they move to the burbs or go private.  Like a lot of Hill'ite, I'd like to see DCPS close a couple elementary schools and one middle school.    If these schools went charter, and the new schools were as good as Two Rivers, or better, and Hill folk had neighborhood preference, voila, many more middle-class familie would stay.  Not such a horrible idea around here.

What are the YY parents afraid of, more AA kids from the neighborhood?  Well, then move the school to Chinatown if the law is proposed and passes why don't you and draw in actual bilingual families, horrors.  [/quote]
