[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually I've seen very little opposition to the idea of OOB set-asides -- I don't think I've heard one person say, "oh, if they do this, we would pull our kids."  It's not letting OOB kids in, it's the inability to plan and the inconvenience.   It's not as if only Ward 3 parents care about this -- Hearst didn't go up until 5th grade until it became a Deal feeder.  Elementary schools EOTP that are perfectly good for PK3, PK4, and kindergarten undergo an enormous amount of churn as parents move their kids into Deal feeders.  What makes you think Ward 3 parents are any different?[/quote]

And it's like school leadership has given up on the idea of improving education anywhere but where it's already good, so their only solution is to juggle around more kids in those areas (e.g. ward three and some parts of Capitol hill) and wait for the magic to happen -- never considering that the people in those neighborhoods who are majorly involved in making schools  good for their kids.
