[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, DCPS Ombudsman doesn't seem brave enough to state what a "better system" would be, but she does have this to say:

"As D.C. residents, we must be willing to change a broken system in which “wins" are based on where you live or a favorable lottery number, to a system where all children have a chance to “win” in every D.C. public school they attend."

I was perplexed that she didn't volunteer ANYthing that would help the system get better.  I suppose a reader could infer that she thinks a 100% lottery system would be better, but as we see from realistic commenters on this board, it would only make a flawed system even worse.

It was a lot of blah blah, but designing a better system isn't her job any more than it is mine or yours. Her job is to help individual families navigate or solve problems with their current schools.
