[quote=Anonymous]The tricky part (making EotP schools look attractive) is not necessarily a necessity. I doubt this would happen (and I hope it wouldn't) but DCPS could decide to basically waive the white flag and send the message that families EotP should look to charters. Considering Kaya Henderson's recent comment about middle school I wouldn't say it's impossible. Gratefully I think the advisory board that is part of the boundary process has some really smart people on it who have a lot of historical knowledge and will make recommendations that are good for the city. And I meant to mention earlier when I talked about decreasing OOB numbers WotP that a couple schools are exceptions--Hearst and Eaton continue to be majority OOB, but the schools themselves have helped perpetuate that. For instance, rather than open a PS3 class at Hearst this year and serve current Hearst families (whether IB or OOB) they kept two PKs that was filled with practically all OOB kids, mostly new to the school. Now those new OOB kids are there for 6 years and understandably hope and expect to go to Deal and Wilson. DCPS created that situation and I certainly don't fault EotP families who are looking for the very best education for their children. [/quote]
