Let's keep the facts straight. The assault occurred ONLY at Gallery Place. The Metro train was intercepted/stopped at Woodley Park--no assault occurred at the WP station. |

Felony assault? 16 and 17 year olds? That will show these kids. That will get these "attacks" on white folks to stop. LOL. No. Its an overcharge. And these kids will most likely not have good enough lawyers to get it reduced. You will now have 6 more youth whose life is over before its even started. You will be paying for that with your tax dollars for a long time. But everyone is already doing that, so whats does it matter. |

Unclear whether they were Wilson students. Guess we'll find out soon enough. |

6 less students at Wilson.
Has the Principal undertaken sending OOB kids back to home school for reasons allowed under regulation? |

Good question. If she hasn't, this would be the obvious time to start. Anyone at Wilson has any insights? (we are in-boundary, and less and less likely to send our kids there) |

Not at Wilson, the metal detectors actually scare me more than this.
But here's the thing. If your idiot 17 year old is dumbass enough to start a fight because someone shoved them in a crowded subway, they don't need jail, which will only teach them more retarded "don't disrespect me" life lessons. What they need is someone to teach them not to be a dumbass. |

| What time does class start at Wilson? No way they were going to make it to first period when they were at Gallery Place at 8:30 -- they were up to no good from the get-go. |

From 2018-2019 DCPS and Wilson will have to set aside at least 10% of the new 9th grade seats for out-of-zone students who do not have a feeder right to Wilson. That's about OB 50 students a year who will be admitted into Wilson from other DC middle schools (other than Deal, Hardy, Oyster-Adams). By then the fantastic Deputy-Mayor for Education Abby Smith who tried to transform DC public schools into a city-wide lottery district by abolishing rights of access to neighborhood schools, and who is the proud mother of the above stipulation will be long gone from the District to avoid the shame and accountability of such a demential provision, which will only worsen Wilson severe overcrowding, and increase the disintegration within the school. This is how they work. Michelle Rhee introduced the feeder rights, and then left , leaving us here bearing the overcrowding in my kids schools, Deal and Wilson (the latter has become dramatic - with 40 + student classes). Then came the soft spoken Smith, who wanted to add on top her legacy, and introduced the additional OB set asides for elementary, middle and high school, which will make only things worse from 2018. And then she also left, leaving on us and on our kids her legacy of a mechanism which will be conducive to even more over-crowding . Injecting in Wilson a stock of 200 kids (50 x 4) who come from severely disadvantaged middle schools and backgrounds, while it might (or might not) provide some relief and help to a handful of them, will make no good for the others, who won't be able to fill the gap with the rest of the students (DCPS is cronically unable to provide remedial support). It will increase segregation inside what's already a segregated school (as all current parents like me know, students at Wilson create social clusters depending on race and SES status. It is not a socially integrated school. At all), and would just make things worse. Generate concerns and invert the IB enrollment positive trend. This pure idiocy, and un-accountability traded for a bunch of votes and tag in the disgraced history of DC public schools (Central Office). DCPS would have already exploded wasn't for the perseverance and capacity of some Principals (Cahall was one of them) , teachers, local elected representatives (Mary Cheh) and the oversight and involvement of parents.

That is not the authority of a Principal, but of Kaya or the Deputy Mayor for Education. The new boundaries have taken SW out of Wilson boundaries. My kid always tell me "It's the SW kids who cause all the problems". |

Smart kid, because sadly it's true |

So it will be another 3 years or so before the new boundaries become fully effective? |
