[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lottery system turns us into consumers/ customers rather than citizens/ community members.  If we don't like something at a school- there is little incentive to roll up our sleeves and invest to improve the school. We just roll the dice again and just leave. [/quote]

There are lot of us 'rolling up our sleeves' and getting a lot done at our schools. But without support from administration and the school system only so much can be done. So, yeah it is heartbreaking to think about leaving a neighborhood dcps that we have but time, money and tons of energy into. But if a much better opportunity comes along for our kids we will probably take it. In in this case better doesn't mean all white or no at risk students. It means a truly diverse school with solid academics, creative learning, playtime and enrichment opportunities.
In the meantime I and many other parentswill keep 'rolling up my sleeves' in my working class/middle class neighborhood school trying to bring support and improvements where possible. But until dcps actually listens to parent bodies without a 6figure PTO we are kind of up a creek.
