So UMC folks in the Randolph zone will pay for private school or move if they can't get out of Randolph via an option school, but they won't take a transfer to a NA school?

The arguments are falling apart here.[/quote]

well quite frankly, going to an option school vs transferring to  a different neighborhood school are totally different choices- and I would say that for the vast majority of people, the option is going to be much more appealing.

1. An option school means that you get transportation vs. having to provide your own transportation.  This is a huge difference.
2. An option school means that your child's classmates are from all over the county vs all from a different neighborhood that you don't live in.

I would say that private is also a fairly different animal- I have no experience with private but I know friends in private are constantly doing carpooling-- and the schools help facilitate this.  That's hard to make work to a public neighborhood school that is not your neighborhood.  [/quote]
