[quote=Anonymous]NP, but I agree with 8:43. Many people do not want to consider moving or consider the cost too high (cost can be monetary, loss of a certain quality of house, neighborhood or commute or whatever). Some people do not work the numbers and look around to see what is available and what it would cost. For example, if you own in nice neighborhood to live in with crappy schools and cannot afford to sell, you can rent out your place and rent in a better school district. I am sure there are people who have no choice, but they are certainly not everyone complaining on DCUM. I agree there should be good public schools everywhere, but the reality is this is an urban school districts and urban school districts nationwide have had challenges since longer than probably any of us can remember, so this should not come as a surprise to many. DC has a lot of choice and when it works out for families I think that is wonderful and fullys upport the OOB process and charter schools. That said, the majority of my concern is for families that really do not have choices, and there are plenty of those but most do not post on DCUM.[/quote]
