[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see the boundary review is gonna be the same as it was last time. Property values and self centered arguments masquerading as concern for poor kids. If you’d put others at the center of your life you wouldn’t argue this way. I guess that was never really a popular perspective on moral issues, in the end. [/quote]

You don't have children, do you?

I do put "others at the center of my life."  They're my children, and I make no apologies about ranking their well being higher than that of children I've never met.   That's not amoral; in a zero-sum construct, which [b][u]some [/u][/b]of these situations are, a ranking is inevitable and there is no utopian "win-win" for my children relative to a stranger's child.

Sorry if that sounds harsh when distilled down to the basics.   I'd wager 99.9998% of parents would choose the fate of their child over the fate of an unknown child when forced to in a head-to-head circumstance (i.e., a burning building).    DCPS school assignment isn't such a stark scenario, but there are relative winners and losers and I'm not going to selflessly shunt my kid to the losing group so that a child I've never met can take her place.
