[quote=Anonymous]I don't disagree, but what's your solution? Every UMC 4th grade Hill family that strikes out in the lottery for BASIS and the Latins should avoid EH, JA and SH...to do what, exactly? Hang on for 5th in DCPS before moving to Upper NW, the burbs, a state or a foreign country? Dip into college savings or refinance the house to go private? Homeschool for MS? Go private until the money runs out, then move? Lead other parents in madly lobbying the city council in the hopes that a great by-right MS will emerge in a flash? Some of us tried that during the Fenty years, when our kids were tiny, and got precisely nowhere. Worse than nowhere, we were branded as racists for calling for change at JA, EH, SH and Eastern. Come on, there are no easy answers for parents of modest means who are dug in on the Hill, who've put down neighborhood roots over many years.[/quote]
