[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people in Ward 3 pay a disproportionate share of DC income and property taxes.  Yet when they get the slightest return on their tax dollars, it's derided as favoritism.

Please.  Get off your ass, quit complaining, roll up your sleeves, work your heart out for your school, and stop resenting - and trying to free ride - on the effort  of others![/quote]

This is so wrong headed.  Janney and other successful upper NW schools (ehhklmmos) are not getting more than other DCPS schools nor should they.  There are quality renovations/rehabs/additions happening all over the city.  The vitriol on this thread appears to be amongst upper NW schools, as it reflects resentment by parents (or other interested community members) that their also very successful and overcrowded school has not yet had its promised expansion and renovation.

There is not an entitlement to better facilities that comes from higher tax payments and I do not think this is a common sentiment from upper NW, at least not mong my neighbors.  That is not how the system is supposed to work.  The whole city should get good services.  That said, choices do have to be made and often people will be unhappy regardless of what choice s made, so here we are.[/quote]

Actually, Janney is getting more, much more, than many other DCPS elementaries.  You must believe we are fools to believe otherwise.[/quote]
