[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it, OP.  do you think DCPS has any intention of opening new schools or reopening schools?  Because that ain't happening.[/quote]

I don't think that they have any intention to. Maybe i'm just deflated that our current trajectory is more lottery charter and fewer neighborhood schools with decent facilities. [/quote]

And if more people thought neighborhood schools were exciting, appealing options for their own children, there wouldn't be more and more empty school buildings to give away to the city's public school children - who happen to go schools that are appealing and exciting and are limited only in how many they can educate simply because there is more demand for what they are offering than there is space.  If the neighborhood schools were like that - and they are in some communities - DGS would hold onto these buildings for local kids.  Kipp and Two Rivers programs appeal and succeed and they are going to be able to create more seats by having and building stellar facilities.

So until you invest in your local DCPS and take the plunge and send your children there, don't complain about those empty buildings going to serve other public school children.  Who cares where in DC they live?  As long as these two schools continue to do a good job, you and they have equal chances of attending there.[/quote]
