[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] And we haven't even gotten into the idea of teaming EOTP bilingual schools with WOTP monolingual schools as choice sets! [/quote] "Choice sets" is the idea that just won't die, isn't it. Is there anyone other than DCPS bureaucrats who don't think they're unworkable? The heart of the idea is tricking people into believing that some other school is just as good as their in-boundary school, when it isn't. Nobody looks at that idea and thinks it could work. [/quote] And when a ‘choice set’ doesn’t work out then DCPS moves to ‘directed’ (i.e., no) choice. Consider the J. Eaton experience, where for several years students were given the choice of Deal or Hardy, with DCPS apparently hoping that some number would choose Hardy over Deal. When not surprisingly no one did, DCPS eliminates the choice and engineered the switch of an emotive school to Hardy.[/quote]
