Thank you for your concern.

The answer is simple, really.  I believe that all of the children in our community deserve a fair shot at a good education.

People that came before me fought battles and shed blood to provide my generation with opportunities; the least I can do is to use the resources and skills that are available to me to help today's children have a similar chance.

That being said, if I put on my darkest, most cynical, political, game theory hat, the parents of Deal/Wilson [i]should[/i] make standing up MacFarland/Roosevelt a high priority. Enrollment trends at Deal/Wilson are not sustainable. If we want to maintain that educational quality, we all must work together to relieve the pressure.

This is a solvable problem.  DC is the rare jurisdiction that actually has the financial resources to do this, IF we can find a way to meet the needs of the extremely diverse groups that are at play here.

In short, it is an out-of-school-time academic enrichment program for students in the community.  This semester, we have kids from twelve (!) different schools doing [url=http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprograms/fll]First Lego League[/url] robotics. In the spring, we'll do advance math and Scratch computer programming.[/quote]
