[quote=Anonymous]But let me ask, why exactly do you like the idea so much? I'm going to guess, because it looks like a selective school, even a magnet school, in a school system that doesn't allow magnets. Probably lots of people would want this for their kids. So the issue is: if the Charter Board won't allow magnets, and if Latin faced significant hostility from the Charter Board for perceived elitism, how is this new school going to prove that it isn't finely targeted to kids in NW DC, and basically, elitist? I'm all for magnets, BTW, but I can't see this pseudo-magnet passing the Charter Board's smell test. I still haven't seen anybody explain what this brings to the scene apart from it's "selectivity." You can't argue "we can start any school we want" and not bother to prove there is a need for the school, at least not in DC. [/quote]
