[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF do you care if someone comes into your school from OOB?[/quote]
I care if the OOB students are causing my school to go way over the capacity cap, because that results in lower quality for everyone.[/quote]
That sounds like a problem with DCPS opening up too many seats, not with the people who sign up for an available spot.  Only IB students get to attend by right - the rest have to deal with available spots in the lottery.[/quote]
Yes, it is a problem created by DCPS, and I agree the only way to fix it is to get DCPS to limit the OOB spots available to the maximum capacity of the school.  But while I've written to DCPS to encourage this logical limitation, I know plenty of OOB parents lobby hard to ensure none of their children will lose OOB access.

I've got absolutely no problem with OOB children attending a school that's under-capacity.  Indeed, I think that's almost a logical market, where the best-run schools will attract more students, and the poorly-run schools will lose students.  But the market fails when capacity caps get ignored.  Don't you agree?[/quote]
