[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Prof." Cheh's proposal for a new middle school in the Palisades was one of her better ideas, and I am not normally a fan.  As for other council members being "appalled," it's too bad that they aren't equally appalled by tax evasion, converstion of government funds for private gain, failure to report a bribe and other conduct that is just another day at the office of the DC Council.[/quote]

I'll agree that it's not a bad idea perhaps in a vacuum. I have a child at Stoddert and having the rec. center attached to the school is brilliant. Love it. But Cheh's is a reasonable idea at a very wrong time and being driven by political reasons. If the District were flush with money, if all the middle school kids were being served well by their local middle schools then OK! But that's not the reality. The reality is those Key parents will choose to go private rather than go Hardy,  thus their kids will not be using those district tax dollars but will be used for kids that need them.  I say good. And I don't buy the argument that those Key famlies will move. They live in Palisades and can afford private. [/quote]
