Picking Your Public School
When I was growing up in Lincoln, Nebraska, we had four high schools. Attendance was decided by neighborhood. You attended your high school based on which one you lived closest to — and you were not allowed to pick your high school. Your address locked you into your school no matter what. Your parents not only made you, they then chained you to a public school just because of the house in which you happened to live.
