[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No matter how much money is poured into Ward 6 Middle Schools, the schools won't become an option for High SES families until the school can attract enough High SES families.  That is the dilemma.[/quote]
Per Joe Weedon (DCBOE Rep.), Maury has 40+ families that did not enroll in the lottery and plan on enrolling their 4th grade kids to Eliot Hine, and that would be a good start towards attracting a critical mass of High SES folks.[/quote]

Joe doesn't represent all of Ward 6, just a sliver of the Hill[/quote]

True. He tends to hang with a crowd that blames charter schools for "ruining" public education in DC when large numbers of Ward 6 families thank their lucky stars that charters a) allow them to stay in the city b) create educational opportunity rather than trap families without the resources to move to an abysmal neighborhood school.

I do wish this gang would keep their focus on the actual real live problems in our neighborhood schools rather than chasing the bogeyman if the charter sector.[/quote]
