And?  I don't want my kid going to any of those schools, and someone else out of ward 1 may want their kid to go there.  Why should either of us be forced to stay in our neighborhood?[/quote]

Wow. That's amazing! You don't want your kids going to the large number of quality PCSs in your own neighborhood, and you don't want anyone else to be able to go to a quality PCS in their own neighborhood. How incredibly selfish. The reality is that the IFF report details a large service gap in Wards 4, 5, 7, and 8. No such gap in Wards 1-3, 6. So.....we need to encourage new charters to open up in their areas with the service gaps -not Ward 1-3. If the high-performing charters in your neighborhood are not good enough for Jasper and Zoe, send them to privates. Having a ward preference will allow new charters to serve the underserved (which doesn't mean FARMs per se - only means aren't enough schools in neighborhood clusters) because it gives them a built-in list of student candidates. Reducing commute time helps families and children spend more quality time with each other. Go Tommy! [/quote]
