I agree 10000%. Isn’t that the whole point of paying taxes to reap the so-called benefits like sending your child to the school you choose. Yeah, whole system is muffed.

What parent has a choice of school? You go to the school you're districted to, and unless you specifically seek an exemption into a specialized, one of the selective schools, or pay additional money for a private education, you're being educated whichever school you're closest to.

You create a list of the dozen or so schools of your preference with the most preferred at the top, you then get accepted to whatever school accepts you on that list which doesn't necessarily equate to a school that's in your district since there's magnet schools all over.
