[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 2014 crop didn't have much for the woe-is-me-"I live in the District but can't educate my kids with those of my neighbors but man I better not pay tuition" crowd. Washington Global, once promising to set up shop in underprivileged territory finds a home at L'Enfant Plaza and looks more a place to send your kid after Brent than anything.

The 2015 crop promises a breakthrough with Breakthrough Montessori, for whom the primary breakthrough will be the realization by some parents newly trying to figure out the lottery that as a new school it's not likely to be nearly full of children of "longtime DC residents."  The rest of the school offerings appear to be oriented to whoever lives in "Wards 7 and 8."  (Srsly, who are those people?)

Suddenly it will break on to everyone's lists in Wards 1, 4, and 5 and we will all avow a deep and abiding interest in a fully implemented model Montessori school, ranking it right behind dual language and environmental protection and artsy creativity as must-haves for a child's education, never mind whatever the kid watches on the iPad at home. Just you watch.

Here's a breakthrough: how about no more schools with themes that that are a fig leaf for avoidance of DCPS and some uplift and integration through community participation instead?[/quote]

Where do your kids go to school?[/quote]
