[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk about burying the leded, from original post:

[quote=Anonymous]

“The quickest way I can reduce crowding and demand for Wilson is to get Banneker at Shaw opened as quickly as possible. 100% of Banneker kids go to college; these are some of the best kids in the District. If we move them to Shaw, I have 350 more seats we can fill; these are families who would otherwise be clamoring to get into Wilson or SWW.”

“We can also increase high quality middle school seats by taking the current Banneker space and[b] creating a new, high quality middle school open to all District residents.[/b]”

What about a midcity (Shaw, etc.) MS that at least serves those residents first, without an entrance exam or lottery?[/quote]

What about ending the silly-looking, gerrymandered, Wilson school zone?  End it at Connecticut Avenue to the east:  overcrowding problem solved like magic.  Then attract the kids to the east of Connecticut to the new "mid-city Banneker."  "Banneker For All" is a great slogan, too![/quote]

Solved it!  Reinstitute redlining and PP will be happy.  So many problems solved at once, eh PP?[/quote]
