[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh I get it now, there's no need for Eastern to improve, or to better serve its catchment area now or at any point down the track.   The school is simply wonderful as is.  Fantastic!  Thank you so much for enlightening us all on the subject.  Who knew, a high-performing HS right in our backyard.

I repeat, pointless and tiring.  DCPS could clearly care less which bums fill seats at Eastern, as long as the bucks per capita continue to roll in.  That may change once political heads start to roll over Ward 6 schools issues, maybe 15 years from now.  Until then, hang in there, folks.

It appears to me that many gentrifiers want DCPS to kiss their asses & roll out a red carpet for them.

Not gonna happen.

Why not?

Because DC is concerned about 
1. Bringing schools up to par for ALL kids to attend.
 2. The urgency is for those currently (forced) in the schools.
3. Kids of gentrifiers have options & will be fine wherever they go. Someone's already said "Well to the suburbs or private we go!" DCPS says "Byeeeee! Now let us continue our efforts at improving schools for all."

DC does not consider the gentrifiers as necessary for schools to improve. However, they view their attendance as proof that improvements are being made. Two very different things.

So, stop lying to yourself about your importance to DCPS. The system has been nearly 100% black since the beginning of time. No one would blink if that never changes. The question has always been: How do we truly serve and educate those (black) kids? If other races join the schools, fine! We can't stop them but we don't need to recruit them either.
