[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an educational "marketplace" where there is choice for almost everyone. It isn't a monopoly. Nobody is forced to go to their in-bounds school. (In fact, data shows most people don't.) You can lottery into an out-of-bounds school, opt for a charter school (about half the DCPS kids do) or -- if you can afford it -- go to a private school, or move to MD or VA. If you put people into a new boundary and they don't like that school, they won't go. You can try to assuage their concerns, add new programs, etc. and that, over time, may help. But, hint: trying to shame them into going to an inbounds schools by implying they're racist has never worked.[/quote] Since when is a lottery a marketplace?[/quote]
