[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk about a bridge too far-- SH is much closer to Brent than Jefferson.  that's a fact.  Not only physically closer, but a safer and more pedestrian/bike friendly commute.  I am a Brent parent and I would done the Watkins to SH shuffle but we got into a charter that we like.  I consider those Brent parents that do the Waktins- SH shuffle braver and better neighborhood stewards than I am-- and see no problem with a principal pointing out how capitol hill parents can make the DCPS neighborhood system work for them.  Ideally SH would be open to all Capitol hill kids for middle school-- since it isn't because OOB cluster kids have rights to SH over those that actually live close to the school, I salute those Brent parents that go OOB to Watkins to enable admission to SH keeping their kids in the neighborhood.  Unlike wimps like me that bail go charter.  ;-)

I think people need to remember that many Brent students are actually IB for Watkins, but got into Brent as OOB students.  So she's technically not "poaching" all of them...just seeing if they would like to return to their IB feeder pattern.
