[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the long poster:  now its clear that your goal would be to completely end neighborhood schools in D.C. -- the premise being, I guess, that DCPS would be improved as a result.  However, almost every other comment thinks that would be a really bad idea, for the reasons posted in this thread.

So why, exactly, would ending neighborhood schools be an improvement?  Certainly, it would allow kids throughout the city to travel to a great selection of schools, but how would that improve DCPS as a whole?  Wouldn't it result in destroying many of the "good" schools that everybody likes?[/quote]

I can't tell if you're purposefully twisting my views or you just really jump to conclusions all the time.  The points I've repeated 4+ times now are my only points.  It has never even crossed my mind to end DCPS's neighborhood system, since that pre-dated our arrival in DC and is deeply entrenched.  So I have no response to your bizarre assumption about my opinion.  I had 2 points I wanted to make... I made them, and assuming anything else about my beliefs is not worth your time or mine.

How bout you share your thoughts on this question:  what's your priority (be honest): improve the quality of all current DC public schools (incl charters), or increasing access to the better schools for some people, whether schools overall improve or not?  Or another priority, which is... What?  And whatever yor a ace, what do you see as the next major steps to getting there?[/quote]
