[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found it interesting that some people are in boundary for more than one school (at least at the elementary school level). This seems weird to me--definitely not the case where I grew up, and not for me now. Why is it that some people get to choose among several in-boundary options? Will this change in the boundary review process?[/quote]

The DCPS school that used to serve my neighborhood was closed.  Then the school which took over that school's catchment area was closed.  There may have been another closure after that, but I don't particularly care because they're all horrible EOTP schools which we never would have considered in the first place.  We moved to our neighborhood for the HOUSE not the schools, we thought private was the only legitimate option.  (So thankful for a good charter!)  I looked up our address and there's a choice of schools due to the lack of options in the immediate vicinity.  Not interested.

Point being: nobody gets a choice of good DCPS schools, and if you get a choice at all, it's bad news.  It's like choosing between the electric chair and lethal injection - either way it's the death penalty.[/quote]
