[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG.  I can't believe that the idea of a city-wide lottery is STILL being floated.  This was floated over 10 years ago prior to the last boundary re-adjustment.  It tanked in part because the education "professionals" who were pushing this idea were found not to follow it themselves---one of the biggest proponents had moved from Takoma Park because he didn't think the MS was good enough for his kids.  You cannot make this stuff up.  If you dig down on the backgrounds of the alleged educators who push this stuff, you will generally find that most of them elect to send their own children to schools that are either private, charter with some form of honors/non-honors classes, or public schools in areas with very little poverty.[/quote]

Yep. Even the sainted Nicole Hannah Jones sought out the “better” school to lottery into in Brooklyn. And by the time high school rolls around, forget about it. But I still believe they will propose a city wide lottery again.[/quote]

it will never happen, not with the changing demographics in DC. A school wide lottery would destroy the progress that DC has made so far in the last 15 years on schools.[/quote]
