[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is inevitable that DC will have to adopt a random lottery placement system for public schools, like in San Francisco. Neighborhood-based schools are inherently exclusionary. Only with a true DC-wide lottery (with diversity adjustments) will DC achieve equity.[/quote] I know families in SF and the citybwide lottery is hated! Almost all Upper class Families flee the public school system. That would destroy the small gains DCPS has made over the last few years.[/quote] Exactly. A city-wide lottery system would accomplish the opposite of its ostensible goal of diversity -- meaning that the supposedly benign reason for the new policy would be a false reason. Which means the proposed change probably would not survive a lawsuit. However, if the overall percentage of white students in DCPS were to rise to around 30%, I think you could make a good case for it.[/quote]
