Indeed.  I am in Ward 4 with a small child but we are in a downtown charter.  There are a growing number of white middle class folks (by DC standards, anyway) like us moving into our neighborhood, buying homes and putting down roots.[/quote]

which is great (that you're committed. . . not that you're white :-) ).  you still deserve a viable neighborhood school option.  I find it puzzling how much ground DCPS is willing to cede wholesale to charters.  The randomness of charter spaces can translate to logistical nightmares or sometimes perfect scenarios -- dropping your kid off at a great school a few doors from work or right on the wayis the dream for all of us, no?[/quote]

Yes, of course.  That whole "putting down roots" thing will only last if the DCPS system improves, at least for me.  We're giving it a few years and if we don't feel good about it and see improvement in the neighborhood schools, we'll move, plain and simple.  For me, it's all about the mentality of the families and kids at the schools - I want my kid to be in a school where the majority of people value education and where it is not an ongoing ordeal to make sure he's in a good school.  Getting into PS3 felt like a massive ordeal.[/quote]
