[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound crass, but the reason why parents dig deep to overpay for smallish center-hall Colonials in AU Park is that they want the best DC elementary school for their kids. And Janney has been the best for a couple of decades. They are not going to accept decisions that dilute the resources that their kids get today or dilute Janney’s academic quality. That’s the realty.[/quote] I overpaid for a house in-bounds for Janney and I very much want the city to make decisions that make it possible for significantly more poor kids to attend Janney. I realize that's not the majority view. But being afraid that my neighbors will whine about it is no reason for public officials not to try it. [/quote]
