[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ha, so spreading their families across the city is the best way to support neighborhood schools? You can't claim to have the school's best interest at heart when you a) don't care enough to live nearby and b) don't care if class sizes become unsustainable because people game the system by renting IB for a year or faking the address.

If someone rents for a year, joins the PTA, volunteers at the school and works for it, I don't care. Families are already spread across the city, because DC has 40% of its students going to charters. Policies like this will only erode the cohesiveness of improving neighborhood schools, which will encourage more people to flee to charters or Deal for middle school. If you want to make your IB school a community, you have to accept everyone IN THAT COMMUNITY. Not just the moms who take yoga with you, and don't like juice boxes. Who work at whatever misbegotten policy institute overpays you. Or its ilk. DC is like the city of liberals who aren't actually liberal. It is so strange. [/quote]
