What I find surprising is that Bowser says NOTHING about the schools in these areas. They are already overcrowded. We need more schools WOTP - elementary, middle, and HS.

Sign not this again.

We don't need more schools WOTP.

We need the DC Council to take up re-drawing the boundaries and to move people en masse to the grossly under enrolled schools EOTP.

It is nuts that upper middle class families in Crestwood and Mt Pleasant are sending their kids to Deal and Wilson.  It is nuts that gentrifiers in Columbia and 16th Street Heights and Shaw are doing the same or are going to charters.

[b]Force all those families into their neighborhood schools and you solve the school capacity problems WOTP and the under enrollment problems EOTP and for no cost since most of the schools EOTP have already been renovated at great cost.[/b]  And you probably reduce congestion and air pollution in the process.

And all those woke folks forcing out long term residents would have to put their kids where their proclaimed values are by actually sending their kids to their neighborhood schools rather than picking and choosing how invested they actually are in where they live. [/quote]

The reason some of these schools are under-enrolled is because they are garbage schools and everyone knows it. Some of these schools are so terrible they should be shut down. If you tried to force people to send their children there, they would just move.[/quote]
