[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP what if you were told that people in other parts of the city didn’t want successful students all clustered in your neighborhood while leaving theirs to go to Deal or Wilson?[/quote]

I'm in another part of the city and I'm not sending my kids to our zoned middle or high school, and neither are most of the people who live here. And not because they're at Deal/Wilson. I think it would be far better if we all did, but closing off one alternative isn't going to make that happen. (And DCPS has options to make other schools more attractive that they aren't using.)[/quote]

What other options are available? I'm in favor of magnet schools strategically placed thru out the city. Easier said than done but you have to start somewhere..[/quote]

What do you mean by "magnet school"? If you mean an application school where kids from a variety of neighborhoods have the option to attend...we have those. They are the subject of much debate and consternation here on DCUM. If you mean a by-right school with larger geography, how is that any different than the situation (and issues) we have today?
