[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we agree.  Few people move out only because of schools although it is a convenient reason to give.  My point is that shipping kids out of the neighborhood for charters or out of the public system for school is far from the ideal especially when the numbers and conditions for some great middle and high school options in the neighborhood are gathering. But maybe I am too idealistic.  In the meantime, yes, there are lots of good enough options in the city.[/quote]

I've posted here before, but here is a new thing to ponder: Haven't they always? DC has always had some form of school choice (clusters, magnets etc.). Could it be that the walkable, bikable, buy local, eat local, shop local, sell your car but still live richly kind of culture (combined with higher travel costs, time and money) has brought stronger sense of "I want a great school right at my doorstep"?
I'm not objecting. In fact, I clearly see the benefits of it all, for myself and society as a whole. Maybe we just can't have the cake and eat it too, not yet, not all the time. So you either let it go or you make it work. We do the latter.[/quote]
