Have you complained to the school rather than an anonymous website? And when you say "blocked in" do you mean by traffic or someone actually parking their car in front of your driveway? FWIW, I live within two blocks of a private HS in DC, and I KNEW when I bought the house that there would be traffic related to the school. No one forced me to buy my particular house. I bought it fully aware that there was going to be increased traffic in the mornings and in the afternoons, that there were going to be sporting events and school events where families parked everywhere in my neighborhood. Unless a student is blocking my driveway in an *illegal* manner, I have never had the occasion to complain to the school. There was one incident when students were driving recklessly, racing each other at extremely high speeds through the neighborhood, and I complained directly to the principal. The matter was straightened out right away, and the students were suspended. So, it's not like I don't empathize, but it really strikes me as irrational to choose to live in an urban area, which is close to shops, business, and schools, and then complain about the traffic that is logically expected from proximity.

This ignores that GDS had only a high school in the neighborhood when pp likely bought their house. Traffic control was literally a condition for GDS to expand, so your comparison makes no sense.

Way to lose the forest for the trees. You choose to buy an expensive house in an urban area that is full of schools. FWIW, the HS near me expanded. And BTW, Tenleytown lost St. Ann's and saw an increase in student population at Deal and Janney. Populations shift--the urban-ish nature of Tenleytown did not.

All irrelevant. The school had to, and did, agree to an enrollment cap and traffic management in order to expand its campus. Expansion would not have been possible had GDS not made those commitments.

Your response is telling as to how GDS parents view the school’s agreements.

1) It's not clear how the PP's is blocked--by traffic or illegal parking?
2) It's clear that GDS is abiding by the conditions, if not exceeding them, as set out in the MOU with the exception of failing to report its enrollment increase in a timely manner.
3) Not sure why you hate GDS parents so much. Jealousy?

2) Are you the same poster who is fixated on bringing up the Wisconsin Ave straw man? It’s clear that there are neighborhood restrictions on numerous streets and that GDS parents are violating them. Otherwise, why is Russell in his letter imploring parents to abide by the agreements?
3) It takes a special kind of narcissism for someone to conclude that anyone who takes issue with them must be jealous of them. If you really want to know, all my kids were admitted to GDS and decided to go to another school instead, it was their choice. It’s clear they made the right decision.

Hey! I am glad your kids made a great choice for themselves! I think that's wonderful. I think GDS is an incredible school and an incredible community of caring, supportive people. I love GDS so much and appreciate its leadership a great deal. We feel so lucky to be part of the community. We only wish the best for others, too! We don't care about school competition. We're very secure in being Hoppers, and we've seen our kids flourish there and afterwards in college.

Russell is doing the right thing on emphasizing the importance of the different options available to families, including caropooling. But what you are trying to do is weaponize what he is saying, which is a serious misstep. Russell cannot tell parents they cannot drive down Wisconsin Avenue. He knows that and you know that, too. Have some common sense. Encouraging something is different than trying to shake everyone down, which is what you and your ANC allies wnat to do.

Again with the Wisconsin Avenue straw man. GDS parents are violating the agreement every day on 42nd street and surrounding streets.

I don’t care about school competition either. I also don’t assume that when someone is critical of things done by the school my kids attend, it must be due to jealousy.

You are so ridiculous. See above posts about what the agreement forbids and what it does not. Pathetic that you still are trying to fool everyone.

What are you talking about? Pick-up, drop-off and parking are prohibited on 42nd street. As well as on surrounding streets including Ellicott, Chesapeake and 43rd Place. One of the pps quoted the agreement above. And here is a link to the GDS page. https://www.gds.org/community/hopper-transportation-program

But not WI or any other street. So those are not red herrings. You may not focus on this but your ANC allies certainly are.

Like I said, GDS parents are violating the agreement every day on 42nd street and surrounding streets.

I live right there and haven't seen this. Do you have any evidence?

Just my own eyes.

Well it can't be that bad because I've never noticed it.

That makes no sense. I’ve noticed it and it is bad. Cars routinely parked on 42nd street right off Wisconsin. That part of the street has basically been turned into a GDS driveway which was prohibited. Other pps have commented similarly, talking about their driveways being blocked.

I walk my dog there every morning. Never noticed it. This seems like a made-up issue.

If it’s really so bad, it should be simple to take some photos and submit a zoning violation to the BZA. On the other hand, if it’s just an occasional kid jumping out of a car (which probably happens from time to time), then it’s not a big deal.

[Anonymous]

I will keep dropping off my kid on Wisconsin. If a cop tickets me, then I will reconsider. I’ve never ever seen a single cop there.

Also, seems ANC should be much more worried about boarded up store fronts, homeless population loitering at CVS entrance, criminal activity including car break ins. That’s no what about ism. Just fact.

If I was GDS board, I would commission a surgery or every home in the neighboring area. Something tells me if just 5 complaints total this school year that ANC community members are mostly happy w GDS.

GDS messed up by not reporting but the idea that Wisconsin dropoffs are prohibited by BZA or that neighbors are all upset is totally a farce. ANC should do its job. That hearing was a disgrace. Jon Bender posting here is another disgrace.

[Anonymous]

So is my high schooler prohibited from taking an Uber home and being picked up on Wisconsin. He does that sometimes after a late game. Is bender going to come after Uber pickup too? Good luck

Well you have to crack down on the law breakers first. Maybe stop and frisk for GDS parents would be a good start.

One more time for the idiots in the back: the MOU does NOT prohibit any pick-ups or drop-offs on Wisconsin. That's a lie that the ANC people keep pushing, but it ain't in there.

+1

As for the person saying people are dropping off kids on 42nd, I think they are just referring to the cars lined up for drop-off. And that is actually allowed - people actually have to get to the drop-off point. Maybe every now and then a kid hops out of the car - I haven't seen it, but it's possible. But it's hardly everyone in line doing that.

Holy false equivalence, Batman! A lawyer doesn't understand the difference between violating a criminal statute and not fully complying with an enrollment agreement?

NO. The agreement does not prohibit this, especially given that it is not during normal school drop off or pick up hours. Jeez.

ANC is also hazing on PPA, rec volleyball, all the visiting team kids and parents driving about everywhere after 3pm, weekend games and practices and events on the grounds. That all needs to go. Go live in Frederick if you want a real community, activities and amenities. We need are NW DC streets FREE & CLEAR!

Good for them. These rich people think they own everything and everyone. Down with GDS! DC needs to remove the school tax exempt status and tax the hell out of these people. Power to the people not to the trump supporting elites at GDS.
