[quote=Anonymous]I'm no researcher or stats pro like some on here claim to be, but my 21 years in DC and 7 years in the DC school system have given me some insights. I played the OOB and made it work for me. I was grateful for the lottery. However, I can now see that because of all the lotteries families often transfer their kids from school to school to school and I suspect some of the lack of student progress can be attributed to this. Yes, just one among many variables, but something. We talk about how children aren't tested until 3rd grade...well by then a child may be attending his 3rd school. I see it at my child's WotP school where children leave for private at 3rd so new OOB kids arrive from charters and lower performing schools, both because our school is good but also to get in the pipeline for Deal. I'd hate to see OOB go away, but that's where we're headed. If we could match families with the schools they want earlier, it would help decrease the jumping around. [/quote]
