[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Hardy will never be an acceptable choice to Woodley Park residents, in part due to transit. Woodley Park has a Metro, Deal has a metro...Hardy has??? I really think the OOB feeder will end before Woodley gets shut out of Deal
I can just see the lawsuits rolling out...[/quote]

So much to work with... where to start?  With what's acceptable, since that was your choice.  If Hardy is acceptable enough for Key and Mann?  I'll leave it to you to break down precisely what you believe "acceptable" means, but by any definition it's therefore acceptable to Woodley Park.

As for your transit argument?  That is silly on its face.  By your logic, Amidon-Bowen ES has a Metro, Deal has a Metro, ergo Amidon-Bowen should feed Deal!  Nobody cares that Oyster is about a mile away from the Woodley Park metro.  That's immaterial to the fact that it's a couple of miles closer to Hardy than to Deal.  It's certainly closer than Eaton, which also needs to feed Hardy.

And what you think doesn't have much bearing on what politically palpable to DCPS.  Even with the OOB feeders, one look at the school sizes tells quite a story.  Deal needs to drop some feeders, and Shepherd isn't an option.  Oyster and Eaton make so much sense that it needs to happen yesterday.
