I don't care whether my kid goes to school with other kids her color or with high-SES kids; on the contrary, I *want* her to go to school with classmates who are diverse both ethnically and economically.

I am delighted that LT offers her the opportunity to do that, and I am confident that the school offers a warm, safe, and orderly environment that encourages high academic achievement among students from many backgrounds in different wards of DC.[/quote]

I agree that the diversity of LT is one of its strengths.  But I also think it (and all DCPS schools) should be citywide schools - why should the in-boundary families get preference at that school at all?  The only argument families have against LT is that the principal is at times hostile or suspicious that inboundary families will try to push out those from other parts of the city.  And that she and the school do not try to recruit or retain them.  Fair enough - but maybe no school should be made up of neighborhood kids.  Why do we have that model at all?[/quote]
