[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I doubt many people will leave if they implement DC-wide HS. I am surprised all these parents who tell me how great Janney, Lafayette, Murch, etc. have such little faith in DCPS as a whole. [/quote]

You are surprised that parents choose, i.e. put trust , i.e. invest their time and resources in a specific school or pipeline of schools? Are you a parent? For you as a parent would it be the same if they told you that your kid has 33% each of getting into school A, B or C?

Am I am odd parent when I think that it makes a huge difference (and could make me turn to private or Montgomery County) whether my son will attend Wilson, 14 minutes walk 4 minutes by car, or Cardozo , which has no direct transportation, 30 minutes by car, 1 hour by bus and different average academic outcomes ? Am I perverse? Incompetent ? Racist?

Am I an odd parent when I say that I happy to donate to my ES , on a totally volontary basis, my time + $4,000/year cash because all my 3 kids will benefit from these annual contributions?

Am I an odd parent when I say that I am not ready to delegate to a bureaucratic algoritm the assignment to a "reasonably" close school to home, with programs and outcomes which are reasonably close to what I know would work best for my kid?
