[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the Hill parents who complain about the quality of the middle/high schools AND tell non-Hill people that they should just invest in their local DCPS elementary schools and stop applying OOB--the same applies to you. Invest in your in-boundary middle and high schools; send your kids there and work to make the schools better.[/quote]

No need.  ES is up to 8 years of highly dependent childhood.  I would put my 4 year old  or even my 7 year old on a bus to distant OOB or charter.  I'd put my 10 year old on a bus for Ward 2, 4 or 5 charter middle school.  Or shell out for 3 years of private school.  Whatever it takes.  Eastern, Eliot Hine, Jefferson are not there yet.  Stuart Hobson?  Eh.  Just assume go to the equally eh Hardy where space can be gained and feed to Wilson.  Depending on charter options, SWW or private for HS, sssuming charter MS/HS doesn't pan out.

Not judging the above thinking process or conclusions, but want to point out that this is exactly what the city [b]government officials are counting on - engaged parents willing to dance to their tun[/b]e, whatever it is, to get their kids a good public education, and unwilling to organize and fight for their neighborhood schools.[/quote]

This implies a far greater level of competence and foresight on the part of our city officials than any of them actually have (with the possible exceptions of Catania and Mendelson).[/quote]
