[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the more exclusionary Ward 3 parents become, and the more they wage war on OOB families (who earned their spots at WotP school through established policies and enabled those schools to maximize their budgets) [b]will push the Chancellor towards a solution of no boundaries.[/b] Turning "OOB" into a dirty word will necessitate getting rid of it altogether.

Can we stop with this nonsense?  They're not getting rid of boundaries.  On the heels of a much-touted inprovement in test scores, they're not going to completely change the system (and torpedo many property values, at that).  There is overcrowding at some schools, and underenrollment at others - that needs to be addressed.

Good grief, people.  I can't figure out is many of you are so simple-minded that you actually believe this fairy tale, or if there is a concentrated campaign to instill fear in the community so that when a less drastic solution is proposed, people welcome it as better than the alternative.

Check that.  I am not a big believer in conspiracy theories, and I AM a believer in Occam's Razor.  So we'll go with simple-minded.  [/quote]

+100.  DCUM is full of Chicken Littles.  Somebody heard about San Francisco's model and has been continuously posting the possibility of DC adopting the model to the point where others are starting to believe this inane fairy tale.  Good grief!!!  Stop perpetuating this myth![/quote]

Well I guess the Mayors PR team better dispel this myth right away because so far all public utterances and announcements on the subject give the impression that a major change in the way students are assigned.  Listen to smith and the rest of the panel on the Kojo Nnamdi show and read between their lines[/quote]

Listen Chicken Little, they haven't changed the boundaries in decades.  Change of any type would be major.   :roll:

This whole no boundaries rumor is a construct of DCUMers.  The basis for this silly rumor goes something like this: San Francisco is a big city like DC and they tried a no boundaries public school system, so that must be the plan for DC too.  Really???!

Sometimes DCUM exhausts me.[/quote]

Don't forget, you have to read between the lines![/quote]
