I think Palisades is that area above Georgetown and kind of all the way over in Potomoc, but I'm not clear on that. I don't spend time on that side of the diamond. |

You do not. I would love to go to yoga with the Yu Ying moms. |

That's so funny because I paid over 7 figures for my fabulous Capitol Hill Victorian and send my kids to a charter school better than any you'd find in Bethesda. Literally everyone I know would do anything to avoid living in Bethesda! Also, learn to spell. |

| so, back to the topic at hand, what do we think of out of state cars that drop off students two blocks away (not on an artery or anything) to finish walking to school... |

This reminds me of the Washington Post story a while back, about a DCPS school. It said that during a DC-focused social studies class in which the ward system was discussed, a kid asked what ward Landover was in, where he lived! |

I think it's good and everyone should drop off students two blocks from their school and not an artery. Much safer than the clusterfuck in front of my DCPCS now. |

+1 Walking and talking is a great thing. Before AND after school. |

That's funny because many to most of the houses bought around here seem to be from people coming from the city, especially your part of the city. I lost count of the former Hill people who move to Arlington and Bethesda but I know maybe one who went the other way into the civilized part of the city (let alone somewhere like Ward 4-8) and that was because of both a job transfer and the kids being already in college. Hell, I would be surprised if you even lived in a part of Capitol Hill that I would even consider Capitol Hill. Your Tone reeks of a Atlas District or even worse Kingmen Park / Barney Circle. Oh I am sorry Hill East. As to the quality of the Charter system I really think people should stop acting like it is some vetted and proven system, it is far too new and uses the same basic people and Gov reliance so we shale see if it is really going to pay off in a generation. I'll take the proven elite private options around here which make no apologies to any fly by night charter and leave you to your over mortgaged house and social lottery experiment of two middle age former yuppies working random policy jobs who didn't get the memo. And don't rattle off the good private options in DC because I actually live closer to all of them then you do. |

Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4 and K all day, and with some Title 1 schools there's extended day (i.e. free aftercare). Schools are also close to work. I wouldn't say it's about the academics. I'd be surprised if MoCo kids were coming into the city. |

Me, too. I think it's largely a PG problem. |

That makes more sense |

Why? There are some MOCO schools that are not great. MOCO is not equal. And the classroom sizes are huge with 28 kindergarteners in one class and one teacher. I wonder why you excluded MOCO, but think the other county produces all the scofflaws. |

So now we are repeating the same points again in this thread? And quibbling about what blocks of capitol hill, which in a real city wouldn't even be notable, are the "right blocks?"
I'm glad y'all are concerned with this and not, like in charge of national policies. |
