[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OOB parents choose the extra commute. IB parents should have a reasonable expectation that they can attend a neighborhood school when they purchase or rent a home in that neighborhood.

If you bought a home on Capitol Hill for the school, and then DCPS told you a two year renovation would send your kids to Tenleytown every day (after assuring you for two years that children would remain on campus for the renovation), you would be upset. H-A parents have a right to be upset, and certainly have a right to challenge the decision. [/quote]

Your property and income tax dollars go to DCPS, not your local IB school. And while you are guaranteed a IB slot -- which already gives you a lot of privilege, since your IB school is so highly sought after --you are not guaranteed special privileges in the overall system based on your address. Inconveniences happen in DCPS and not just to you. Not a catastrophe unless you turn it into one.[/quote]

This.  It is a temporary situation.  Everyone will be ok.  [/quote]
