[quote=Anonymous]DCPS is focused on middle school improvement at the same time as this push for more local involvement in Hardy - and from hearing Patricia Pride and other DCPS staff speak about this, the goal is that ALL DC middle schools should get better.  A rising tide lifts all ships, etc.  So much of the snarkiness found in DCUM forums is related to a fear that "if you get more, I get less" (as well as the fact that anonymous posts allows the bitch to come out).  A post that celebrates more people moving into DCPS should not draw the ire of those who are in - either IB or OOB, you can (and should) have better options.  It only takes a few motivated families in any area to start the process of strong local involvement in schools (Deal 1st, then Hardy, and the rest, I hope).

I am from the Midwest, where everyone just went to their own local public school (or Catholic school); it meant that there was "skin in the game" for schools to serve their clients.  When well-intentioned, motivated parents from other wards send their kids to an OOB school, it weakens their community school.  I am not blaming those parents; everyone must do what they think is best for their child. It's just an unfortunate unintended consequence. [/quote]
