[quote=Anonymous]Not only that, but it's really apples and oranges to compare the two.  20 kids sticking together in a PK4 class room at a small elementary, where all they really need to do is learn to share and take a nap and then building a program off of that is a totally different ask than the Hine/Jefferson jump.

Even if every single kid moves from Maury to Hine (none of them are going to play the lottery, none of them are going to move or go to SH) they ALL go, you'll have, at best, a 5% cohort of kids "making it work" at a time when social interaction/influence becomes paramount and where instruction really makes a difference.

Look, as I've said, I don't disagree this is what it will take to make these MS "neighborhood schools" and I also don't disagree that Charters will complicate the matter but that doesn't leave those in the leading edge any good choices.

It would be one thing if DCPS/Bowser actually acted like they want to improve these schools, but we've all seen what happened to the budgets.

I notice poor Weedon hasn't come back on here and confirmed he'll still send his DH to Hine when it's her turn.  Nothing but respect for him if he's that principled, and to PP who would rather call me a racist than admit, "yeah, it's a tough spot you're in."   But, regardless of my principals, I'm just not willing to do that to my kid. [/quote]
