[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My point exactly. Boundaries are random lines on a map in the context of Capitol Hill. Remove the lines for argument's sake and you'll find that we're all more or less "in-boundary", from within Capitol Hill that is and we should all be able to choose from among "our" schools in a less "random boundary drawn" way. Controlled choice, for you and me on 10th St SE could then mean, for example, that we can both claim those proximities as enhancers (or "controls") of our choice. Of course, "controlled" choice can also add other factors into the mix, such as sibling preference, language "controls", racial controls, socio-economic controls etc. That's where the discussion starts turning ugly. But the idea is excellent if you ask me.[/quote]

Well, sort of, I guess.  On the other hand, I really like being a block and a half away from my IB attend by right school, instead of 15 blocks away, and I also really really like that my in boundary attend by right school is Maury, rather than being a shot at Maury, maybe, or a shot at somewhere on the other side of the Hill that is not nearly as good.  And frankly, if it was a "take your chances on the Hill" plan, rather than an in-bounds for Maury plan, we wouldn't have bought here a year ago with two small kids.  We would have moved to Takoma Park instead.[/quote]
