I strongly believe that student preferences for schools should be taken into consideration to match students with their interests and life aspirations. I dislike the zip code preference -- I think there are too many "workarounds" and that there are other factors that should be considered for preference. I also think that we need to make more choices available in K-12 education overall and even more so -- strengthen our neighborhood schools so that parents CHOOSE those schools.]]> 2023-04-04 20:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mgolobish/ykguqqwdg2hxp06j/wish/2544144551
