Obviously I'm not legally entitled to any particular school district.  You don't need to hammer that home.  But the boundary issue IS an issue because of voices like mine, which aren't few and far between.  It's the housing costs and the school quality (which by all accounts is similar at the lower-performing schools and more taxpayer money is spent on them; the bottom line is that the lower-performing kids there aren't getting home support, which won't change no matter where they go) that are the issue.

Basically you're faulting me for doing what I could to increase the chances (not guarantee) of my kids going to a high-performing school.  Shame on me.[/quote]

No, we're faulting you for failing to acknowledge that one major, proven way to improve the performance of the "lower-performing kids" is to get them out of high-poverty schools and into low-poverty schools.[/quote]

As I said, I'm more than happy to welcome any kid from a high-poverty school.  [/quote]
