DD didn't get into charters this lottery. She did get in OOB to another DCPS that people talk smack about on this board. Because she flat-out got in there and I ranked Tubman last because it was a safety, new rules took her out of the running for Tubman. Honestly, if it had been a choice between the OOB school and Tubman, I would send her to Tubman. It's right down the street and IS improving. As it is, she's staying in the daycare she's been in for 2 years. We'll lottery again next year, and if she doesn't get in anywhere more exciting, I'm happy to send her to Tubman.

I know this throws off your sample and probably makes you think I'm a shitty parent, but I really don't care. Go ahead and leave the neighborhood if that's what your priorities are. I know a lot of people who are not doing so. My kid isn't the only one who will likely be going to Tubman for K in my circle of CH friends.[/quote]

I know a couple of families who have kids at Tubman (educated families who own $500k+ houses-- because let's call it what it is. It's not like there were no children at Tubman five years ago, right? Just not *our* children), and several more who are planning to send their children there in the next year or two. [/quote]
