[quote=Anonymous]The following article demonstrates that the DC City Council -- and DCPS -- will respond to mobilized action by committed parents. Take, for example, the push to re-open Amidon-Bowen elementary: http://greatergreatereducation.org/post/23170/capitol-riverfront-parents-organize-to-reopen-a-closed-dcps-school/ The main message for me is just get off your duffs and mobilize your community if you want something to happen. Don't just apathetically declare a loss and go to a charter or advocate for a city-wide lottery; instead, engage in community politicking if you want something better or different in your neighborhood. Politicians, by their very nature, respond to force of numbers. Otherwise, in the absence of community action --and this is also a lesson -- the politicians will decide FOR you what they think is best for you and your kids.[/quote]
