but they tried and the Janney families said no!   We would prefer to have overcrowded classrooms!  [/quote]

Exactly. I spoke to some of those Janney families at the boundary meetings. They were there not out of concern for the kids of DC, but to rail about their property values and the disaster that would befall them if the boundaries were redrawn. They made their beds...[/quote]

You can understand this.  A big price premium on houses in AU Park and environs is because of the Janney IB access factor.[/quote]

Just because real estate agents choose to market school access doesn't mean that the city should maintain boundaries in perpetuity. The first obligation of the school system is to the majority of students, not to Long and Foster.

The obsession might make more sense if there were any evidence that attending one of these schools over the other really makes much difference.to final outcomes for an individual student from a middle class home, but there isn't. Mother's educational level and family income determine most of student outcomes long before they start school.[/quote]
