I will say in defence of Tommy Wells that when I asked him 7 years ago why Brent, etc. didn't have preK 3 as at Two Rivers and other charters, he did look into it and ran with it (Perhaps I am not part of this younger generation of which you speak!  :wink:).  So I recommend trying to work with Tommy rather than giving up on him.  Let's see what he does when the scores for ward 6 schools come out with more detail.  Plus, he seems like he considering running for mayor, so there may yet be an opening for ward 6 without impolitic campaigning against Tommy.  [/quote]

What have Wellls' reasons been for not supporting a SH feed for Brent?   How can he allow DCPS to leave Brent, Tyler Spanish Immersion and Maury middle-class parents without a remotely acceptable MS feed for 5-10 years, and possibly indefinitely?  No political fallout in the cards for him if he conintues to tread water on the issue?

Do posters really feel like assuring him that voters would back radical change in school will motivate him to change his tune?  I can't see that, from what I've heard him say about Hill schools.   He would surely lose in a mayoral race, but if that got him out of the way.  Perhaps a new warm body on the council for Ward 6 would take the bull by the horns on the middle schools reform front.
