[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all interesting and valid. But I think a much more valid and worthwhile path to move forward in working with Eliot-Hine and Eastern as feeding destinations for most Capitol Hill Schools is to focus our energy on getting there and not on defining ourselves by denigrating the rest. The fact is that many or possibly most parents from EH feeder schools currently looking to middle school are at the schools they are because that's what they wanted for their children, not because the Cluster didn't want them. For example, we deliberately chose our school, not Peabody or Watkins, and we'll go on doing that.[/quote]

Yes but it is instructive to critically evaluate the Capitol hill Cluster because the message of "let's all join arms together and attend the same middle school" was the same rallying cry that started the Capital Hill Cluster.   Do Brent, Maury, Tyler, Payne parents etc. want to go down that same path?  I think it is worthwhile to critically consider that maybe encouraging parents to consider ALL of the available middle school options rather than encouraging them to consider just one school may in fact be better not only for each child but even for the DC community.  I could be wrong, but  . . . something, something, "invisible hand of the market" yadda, yadda, "rational self-interest" . . .[/quote]
