[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the more exclusionary Ward 3 parents become, and the more they wage war on OOB families (who earned their spots at WotP school through established policies and enabled those schools to maximize their budgets) will push the Chancellor towards a solution of no boundaries. Turning "OOB" into a dirty word will necessitate getting rid of it altogether. [/quote] I think you are misinterpreting how IB parents see the OOB issue. Basically, it is an issue of capacity. What are we supposed to do when the school is full? Rather than continuing to shoehorn more and more students into a few schools, DCPS needs to make more schools acceptable to DCPS parents. If I were an OOB parent, I would resent the hell out of the fact that I had to drive across town to make sure my DC had a good education. Instead, people feel lucky that they made it into a good school. Demand quality in your own neighborhood. Demand that DCPS do its job. [/quote]
