[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School choice because if you lived in VA or MoCo your school would have been decided for you - at kindergarten, earliest - based on your address. At least you have a *chance* for something other than your address-based school. Some win, some don't. [/quote]

OP here: Frankly we'd be okay going to school with our neighbors (middle class, working and poor), but the most motivated of them leave for charters, leaving us with one choice: an Struggling IB that people like me leave ASAP. [/quote]

I agree that it sucks. It frustrates me that we have created a system where you can live in a neighborhood filled with motivated parents and children, but the IB school sucks because those people are spread out to a bunch of non-neighborhood schools, and some people are shut out of those other options and are stuck with the crap IB school that would be good if those other options didn't exist. [/quote]

That's not really true though.  If it weren't for the charters, those motivated families would have moved.  We are one of them, and we never would have considered our IB school.[/quote]
