[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Demographics are (almost always) destiny sadly. Diluting the overall proportion of at-risk kids might in fact make thing easier for current teachers/staff at Miner, and I don’t think that’s an improper metric to consider.

But the impact on the academic outcomes of at-risk kids will likely be nil to negligible, as their problems stem from out-of-school factors that the school - no matter how structured - can’t be expected overcome.

On the other hand, UMC folks might find that things continue pretty much the same for their kids. Sure, maybe less convenient for some and maybe less narrowly “neighborhoody”, but I’m not sure those are factors DCPS should consider at the outset.

At any rate, howl loud enough and it’s probably dead in the water. Congratulations.

Agree on your first two paragraphs. You don’t really have any support for the 3rd one.

If this did dead in the water, it’s entirely DME’s fault. They needed to come to the community showing they did their homework and thought this through. They didn’t. Instead, they came with vibes, trying to appeal to the “woke” among us and hoping that the Maury parents who hated it would be too scared of being called racists to say anything. A bit of a miscalculation on that one!
