[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Controlled choice on the hill is terrible. High SES families would not be retained past K because their chance of winning a spot at a "good" school [b]would be much decreased[/b]. That would be if there were any "good" schools left. I expect my house price (house that is well designed for a family of four plus grandparents) would go down by about 10 to 15 percent right when I wanted to sell it. [/quote]

Actually, it would probably increase, for there would be dozens of schools in areas that you now have 0% chance of getting in added back into your mix, charters included.

On a separate note: PP who argues having paid that much more for a house just to be IB for a school. I can't help but question the financial literacy of well educated folks. Paying a whole lot extra for housing in DC based on school boundaries is just seriously not worth it. But I imagine real estate agents don't have much of an interest to educate potential buyers on those calculations and would much rather their customers wake up that reality once the deal is sealed.[/quote]
