[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My beef isn't with the few MD people (6th year at school and we know none) but with the downtown place kids who aren't IB but magically show up though they aren't IB or at a feeder. We were on Capitol Hill before moving and each year there are always a number of CH kids who magically appear at Deal. Of course their parents are connected via city people. [/quote] I agree, although this isn't necessarily illegal. DCPS has a clause in their regulations that the Chancellor is allowed to override assignment policies "for the good of the system." One of the ways that DCPS inoculates itself against change is to co-opt anyone with any political influence and make them stakeholders in the status quo. I hear China has a similar system of state-run schools for the party elite.[/quote]
