[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could just send the Hardy kids to Cardozo.  Problem solved.[/quote]

Yes, sending kids who live in the Palisades to Cardozo completely makes sense from the standpoint of "neighborhood schools."  :roll:  :lol: #sarcasm[/quote]

pffft.  Like it's a cinch to drive from Palisades to Wilson, either.[/quote]

Or take public transportation.

But it does again highlight the stupidity of the Ellington renovation when the school instead could have been re-opened as Western and Ellington moved to one of the grossly under-enrolled WOTP school.

[b]But for whatever reason lots of Ellington boosters think the school needs to be in Georgetown despite the lack of links to any nearby performing arts institutions or students from Georgetown.[/quote][/b]

The wealthy AA constituency wanted to flex its muscle in the face of WOTP residents. It was a dumb power play that doomed many talented AA arts students to 60-90 minute commutes. Just so DESA's wealthy proponents and politicians could say "hey, we showed THOSE PEOPLE in Georgetown who's boss in DC."

It was a childish decision by adults that ignored the needs of actual kids.[/quote]
