When the Schools of Choice programs first started, I thought it was a great idea. It meant that failing districts had competitition and would need to improve or lose students. Well, DPS never improved, they just got worse. Probably because a lot of the good students left. But as more and more students left, it wasn't only the cream of the crop that was leaving.
