[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sick of people that overpaid for their homes in Ward 3 trying to kick out anyone that doesn't look like their little snowflake.  Let's be real, historically whites have never wanted to go to Deal or Wilson.  You can't go house poor and decide you can no longer afford private and want to kick out the kids that have been there for generations.  Especially when there is another perfectly fine middle school in Ward 3 that is severely under enrolled.  [/quote]

we did not overpay, we paid market value. we never even considered private, regardless of whether we can afford it or not. if YOU want YOUR little snowflake to go to Deal/Wilson, buy or rent (we did the latter for a good amount of years)  in boundary for it. the current system in DC is based on preference for IB residents.   if you live OOB for a school,  just deal with the reality that there might not be space for your kid  since IB (whatever the boundaries are now and will be in the future) kids have the right to go there first. after all, as you point out, there is another perfectly fine Ward 3 MS that is severely under enrolled, so your OOB snowflake can find a spot there.

and as a side note, if your kid has been at Deal "for generations", maybe it's time to pay for some extra tutoring[/quote]
