<p>I live in one of the other ones. But one annoyance we encountered this school year was that even though our state has public school open enrollment, it also tries to restrict transfers between school districts to pursue extracurriculars (to prevent the formation of “dream teams”). We live in a school district that doesn’t have a competitive debate team, and debate is regulated by the same quasi-official body that regulates high school sports. It took THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR to get a straight answer, consistent with state statute, about how to keep our son involved in debate. A year is a terrible thing to waste–besides, who ever worries about a high school forming a dream debate team?</p>
