People should just stay in their neighborhood schools and quit trying to game the system

At each school you would have a high medium and low track.

Capitol Hill is the classic case of overcompliaction.  If everyone would just go to their zoned school things would be fine[/quote]

If you didn't experience what it was like here before school choice - you can't really comment.

Let those of us who fought for the charter movement and kicked and screaming and clawed to get the OOB lottery what is tell you a bit about when everyone went to their IB school.

Nope sorry I don't want to reward people who chose to live in a crappy area because they are too cheap or can't afford to buy in a good school district.  Neighborhood schools are the only fair option.  You should have sent your kids to private, or moved to a decent district like everyone else did.

Nope.  Sorry, but charters now serve 40% of public school students in DC.

You obviously don't like it, but you have to deal with it anyway.  Suck it up, and then behave like an adult.
