[quote=Anonymous]While I understand how convenient "location preferencing" may prove for some, a great many of us --who don't even reside in Ward 8 where this change could have the most devastating effects--would have found ourselves further down the wait-list of schools we had a high interest in. I understand location preference in cities like New York where the population is dense and spread out across five boroughs. (Dragging a 5 year old from the top of the Bronx to the East side of Queens, makes going from Capital Hill East to Upper NW seem like a picnic in the park). I just think it may do more harm than good in a city like DC. That NYT article was a sad read for me. I do believe location preference would lead to more resegration. I my humble opinion, we could all benefit from getting to know more people who don't look like us and don't come from the same economic background.[/quote]
