[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But it is a choice model with a strange preference for DCPS teachers.[/quote]

I forgot about the teacher preference, and this comment struck me as so strange that I went back and read the proposals again.

What a difference a few months makes.  Reading them after these weeks of debate and controversy makes them seem less onerous.  But they really should have started each one with the objectives and changes that they would bring (instead of putting them at the end) because even the most hated proposals have something many parents say they want.  Choice sets, for example, has creation of strong connections to neighborhood schools as its objective and proposes to create specialized programming in every area of the city.

You have completely, totally fallen for it the way a fish bites a worm on a hook.  This was precession the point of the whole process:  to float radical, idealogical, plans that completely overhaul how students are assigned to public school in DC and allow a freak out to happen. By the time the freak out about the most radical plans is over, people will be "softened up" and will passively accept any changes short of those far out plans.

Voila.  You have been manipulated by a master.[/quote]
