[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I see all the stress over parents fighting to stuff extra kids into Wilson as a positive direction for DC, because it shows that there are more families that there used to be who are demanding better education for their children and who are willing to sacrifice to get that better education.  The problem (a good problem to have) is that Wilson is no longer big enough to hold all those education-focused families.

But unfortunately, the hard solution is that some families need to be re-routed to a different school.  No one wants to be re-routed to a different school, but it's the only solution.  DCPS needs to do its part to create at least one strong alternative school for the Wilson overflow.  But ultimately, some families will have to be pushed out.

The recent boundary revisions were a move in the right direction, but I don't think they can be the end of the process.  More frustration to come for those on the edges of Wilson's new boundaries.  But remember, it's ultimately a good thing, because the critical mass of students pushed out of Wilson will form the nucleus of the next great DCPS school.[/quote]

They need to make changes before they are necessary if they want to improve the overcrowding. For example, how many students are supposed to be in Wilson? Does anyone know that number?[/quote]
