[quote=Anonymous]All of this may be part of a Walton family plan to create private school vouchers for DC residents.  I mean, why not?  The Charter schools are getting the equivalent of a voucher.  If parents lose access to neighborhood schools, and they don't like their selection of neighborhood charters, then they are going to cry out for the right to get that same voucher to attend a more neighborhood-y private school.

So, The Plan is to:  destroy neighborhood schools in DC; create ok-to-good alternatives by increasing funds for charters in DC; create incentive for parents to demand the really good alternatives that exist in private schools.  Once you get private school vouchers, the Waltons get what they wanted all along.

The real genius inherent in The Plan is to convince the lefty wonks who favor social engineering that publicly funded charters are the sole purpose of the movement.  The DME and her likeminded friends think they are getting what they're promoting -- forced diversity across SES lines -- while in the long run we'll see more independent schools established which are the opposite of diverse across SES and race lines.[/quote]
