[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's inevitable that DC scraps the system of neighborhood schools and moves to an all-lottery system with sibling and at-risk preferences. It's the only manageable way to drive toward more equity and inclusion,[b] so that everyone has an equal chance at the better schools[/b]. A number of the key decision-makers in the Chancelor's office and OSSE want to do this. It's just a question of when the mayor feels that the political moment is ripe.[/quote] What makes the "better schools" better? Most of these "better schools" are serving high populations of advantaged kids who are performing at or above grade level. An all-lottery system would fundamentally change this and will also alter the pride and investment that families have in the "better" neighborhood schools. An all lottery system isn't the way for everyone to have an equal chance at the better schools. [/quote]
