As for your transit argument?  That is silly on its face.  By your logic, Amidon-Bowen ES has a Metro, Deal has a Metro, ergo Amidon-Bowen should feed Deal!  Nobody cares that Oyster is about a mile away from the Woodley Park metro.  That's immaterial to the fact that it's a couple of miles closer to Hardy than to Deal.  It's certainly closer than Eaton, which also needs to feed Hardy.

And what you think doesn't have much bearing on what politically palpable to DCPS.  Even with the OOB feeders, one look at the school sizes tells quite a story.  Deal needs to drop some feeders, and Shepherd isn't an option.  Oyster and Eaton make so much sense that it needs to happen yesterday.

(And no, I don't have a child at Shepherd)[/quote]Woodley Metro is centrally located for that the residential area. Kids going to Deal from Oyster aren't literally leaving Oyster's or Adams' front steps each morning. 
And Woodley park is chock full of lawyers, IIRC. I doubt any politician really wants to stir up that nest, or alienate donors. Feeder rights will end first, believe that. [/quote]
