How Would You Fix School Choice in Boston?

Boston Public Schools will host a meeting 6 p.m. Monday night to announce five alternative school choice plans. The five alternatives were designed to improve local school access while preserving a parent's ability to choose the best school for their child, according to Superintendent Carol Johnson. Johnson made her remarks to WBUR.

The schools have been mum on the details of the plan, preferring to present them Monday night at the Lilla Frederick Pilot Middle School in Dorchester. From there, the department plans more public meetings to present and vet the alternatives, which will also be examined by an advisory committee appointed by Mayor Thomas Menino, according to boston.com.

What do you think? What kind of changes should the school system make to the school choice program? Would you scratch the plans altogether and revert to neighborhood schools? What about the flexibility for parents to pick the right place for their kid? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
