[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School boundaries should be according to proximity to the schools, like everyone within 2 mile radius, not according to social engineering experiments. People buy homes for schools and any loss in home values is a hit on retirement funds.[/quote]

Except with the school boundaries on the Hill, everyone involved is well within 2 miles of almost every school.[/quote]

+1, this does not work for dense urban districts. And with Maury and Miner specifically, the schools themselves are just a few blocks apart, so no matter how you draw the line between them, it will always be "socially engineered" to some degree. The current boundaries are definitely socially engineered.[/quote]

And it’s far from just those 2, I live within 2 miles of Amidon-Bowen, Brent, Browne, CHML, JOW, Ludlow, Maury, Miner, Payne, Peabody, SWS, Thompson, Tyler, Van Ness, Walker-Jones, Watkins, Wheatley… and probably others that I’ve never even heard of and so don’t know to look up. Can I pick between all of those schools? 2 miles is really, really far in DC. All of the schools that are actually on the Hill, I live within a mile of.[/quote]
