Definitely the latter camp here. We go to a WOTP DCPS but live in ward 1. I'm pretty sure if all the high SES kids went to our IB school, we'd have a great walkable option.

The irony that you make this about charters, when you go to another school OOB.

Maybe say, get rid of the OOB lottery.  Why should you get to go to a WOTP school when you don't live there?  [/quote]

+1. What a great example of hypocresy.

OP here and I agree we are hypocritices. But that still doesn't preclue us from [b]wishing we could go to our neighborhood school,[/b] so let me clarify that I think both the [b]OOB process and charters are harming some neighborhood schools that could really stand on their own if motivated/connected/afraid-of-poors families[u] had no choice[/u] but to attend them.[/b][/quote]

So...very...confused.  You [b]CAN [/b]go to your neighborhood school.  You simply choose not to. Because you have the means (time, money, familial support) to schlep your kid to WOTP schools.  People with means will always have a choice; to move, to pay for private schools, etc.  The people without means do not have choices.

And what would you have happen to the people who live in areas where the schools are not good?[/quote]
