[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents who do not send their kids to Hardy won't send their kids to the NW charter middle school either. Charters won't have neighborhood preferences. The lottery mechanism will skew the school student body towards a larger OOB population more than Hardy's. Applications from OOB will be huge, due to parents perception of NW as a safer area. The final result will be just an additional traffic source for an area of the city already badly affected by school-induced traffic from nearby areas and from Virginia and Maryland dropping their kids to the DC private schools.

This is just political propaganda by Stephanie Lilley, Ward 3 candidate to the School Board of Education, and strong proponent of the privatization and charterisation of the DC school system. Good luck with her. [/quote]

I don't know about her but one candidate I will definitely not be voting for is Tricia Braun.  She decilined to send her own child to Hardy.  However, while a member on the boundary committee she decided that Hardy should be good enough for other Ward 3 families being moved out of Deal who, unlike Ms Braun, may not have private school as an available option. Talk about being clueless, arrogant and hypocritical.

You have a flawed picture or you are speaking in bad faith: as anyone knows, all Ward 3 members (M. Frumin) tried to do their best to keep the feeding status of Ward 3 schools including Eaton and Oyster (initially moved to Cardozo) . However this was not enough to contrast the political pressures of the democratic mayoral candidate, Ms Bowser, to keep Deal feeding rights for her Ward 4 voter basin. At the end Eaton families have been redistricted, Shepherd and Bancroft in Ward 4 have not.

So blame Ms Bowser for your outcome, and her supporters in Ward 4, not Tricia Braun, who did her best but was an ant compared to forces that were at play in that process.[/quote]

Let's put it this way:  Mr Catania has very strong support in the Eaton community.[/quote]
