[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another Hyde parent here: The above comment is nuts. EVERYTHING changes. I will go from being able to walk my child to school, watch them play, drop them off in the classroom, talk to the teachers, be a part of a COMMUNITY---to putting a 3 and 5 year old on a bus for an additional hour each day--time that could be spent playing, running, participating in afterschool activites or I dont know, LEARNING. Not only is the swing space NOT in our neighborhood, its not in an adjoining 10 neighborhoods, not in the same ward, might as well be on another planet as far as I'm concerned. For my family, its not happening. And for two years. Two years of total upheaval because DCPS cannot remotely get their act together and find a swing space even kinda sorta close to Georgetown. I'm more sad than anything, because it was a really great school with dedicated teachers and a group of inbound parents who actually started to care about building something great. All for a damn gym.[/quote]

You are being overly dramatic.  H-A was a strong school before you were there and will be after you leave.  It is still majority OOB even though it is a small school.  It clearly has very dedicated teachers and OOB parents who actually care about the school.  It may be inconvenient for you but your child will still receive a stellar education in a warm environment.  Plus, you can still talk to the teachers and drop off in the classroom.  There is nothing stopping you from doing that.  Do you think that the OOB parents don't currently do that?  Do you think only the parents who walk their kids to school can do that?  Come on.  Stop being a self absorbed ass.[/quote]Okay the last sentence is over the line but other than that I "plus 1" everything else in pp's comment.[/quote]
