[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Isn't the whole point of public schools that kids go to schools in their neighborhood?[/b] Why are people fighting that? [/quote] No. You can have a public school system where kids go to school based on their home address. You can have a public school system where kids' home address has nothing whatsoever to do with where kids go to school. You can also have private schools that serve kids in their neighborhood - parochial schools for example. Just because, in the US, public-school attendance is generally based on home address, doesn't mean it has to be that way. Not to mention that school attendance based on home address doesn't necessarily have much to do with neighborhood schools anyway. Kids in the Cider Mill Apartments in Montgomery Village, by Lake Forest Mall in Gaithersburg, attend Neelsville Middle School in Germantown. Is that their neighborhood school?[/quote]
