[quote=Anonymous]I have a parent who has attended one of these meetings on boundary changes too and can provide my input. Nobody seems to care about the rights of those who are in bound for Wilson, even though they bought a house west of rock creek précisely for that reason. They have in mind vague ideas about controlled choice sets, full lottery and other crap and they have not even thought how long it takes to drive from palisades to Columbia heights (yes, they are thinking of making Cardozo the hs of choice for those who live in palisades). They seem oblivious to the idea that families with kids could go to Montgomery county or Virginia and just leave dc. When you tell them that public schools in NW dc improved not by chance but because of the investment of time and resources by so many ib families who cared about the local community and the nearby public school, thy tell you that everybody should get a chance. They are thinking of building 200 million dollar schools in plots of faraway empty land, call it a magnet and they tell you that if you care you can send your kid there. If I were the administrator of a dc  private school I could not be more hopeful about the seeds of the disaster they are planting. If you are a family in the district who cares about the quality of dc public schools either make yourself heard or flee the city now. These people have no clue about what they are doing. Honestly, I can only think they are serving political interests or are working secretly for some private school lobbyist[/quote]
