[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am all for reducing pressure on Wilson, but for what a new school would cost, they could invest substantially in magnet programs at Eastern amd Coolidge to draw more kids that way.[/quote]

They've been doing this but it hasn't worked.[/quote]

DCPS has substantially invested in magnet programs at Eastern and Coolidge? They absolutely have not.  Paying for programs doesn't constitute making a substantial investment.  No, that takes astute planning, research, outreach, community buy-in etc.

All DC needs to do is copy highly successful test-in/magnet programs in the Metro area burbs.  Hardly rocket science.  DCPS leaders don't bother because their political patrons don't lose their jobs for failing to support more than one high performing neighborhood high school.[/quote]

Are you for real? They did invest in Eastern and now at Coolidge. Throwing money at this does not work. You can't be cookie cutter with this stuff- you can't just plop down a program that works somewhere else.  That suburb shit isn't gonna work here. [/quote]
