Well, that's just part of the difference between option and neighborhood school. Neighborhood school = proximity, demographic homogeneity, similar pedagogy to other neighborhood school, and neighborhood cohesion. Option schools = traveling further (potentially), demographic diversity, unique pedagogy, and not being as tied to one's neighborhood. They each have their benefits and drawbacks. But they ARE different, and will always be different. That's why they're called "option" vs. "neighborhood" schools. If your kids goes to an option school, maybe their friendships outside of school are more difficult to maintain (play dates with kids who live far away rather than walking home from the bus and everbody going to Larlo's for a snack and a quick game of hoops in the driveway). And if you want your kids to have that experience more than you want them to attend a school with a capped enrollment, that's a choice you make. You just don't enter the lotteries. [b]I personally don't know anybody who wants their kids to go to an option schools unless they have a compelling reason (kid is being bullied in neighborhood school, kid is not successful in current academic setting, kid's zoned school isn't meeting their needs, kid's zoned school is segregated and none of the neighbors send their kids to the neighborhood school anyway).
