[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So someone living 50 steps from Deal would commute to Eastern?[/quote]

The person who raised Eastern here is a disgruntled Oyster parent who is scared of losing their feed to Wilson. Even though Roosevelt is closer to Adams than Wilson is (2.2 vs. 3.3 miles) and MacFarland is closer to Bancroft than Deal is (1.2 vs. 2.9 miles)

They cannot come up with a good argument for keeping the feeder pattern the way it is (because "I want it!" is not a good argument, and uniting bilingual schools, reducing commutes, and managing Wilson's enrollment are things most people support) so they've come up with a non sequitur about Deal and Eastern. [/quote]

Actually, Oyster parents reading this thread aren't in the least "scared."  DCUM doesn't dictate or influence policy for DCPS, so the fact that parents on DCUM periodically come up with a variety of crazy schemes to change Oyster's status and feeder patterns (make Oyster Adams a charter, make Oyster and Adams both elementary schools, feed Adams to Cardozo, feed Adams to Roosevelt, etc.) isn't particularly important to us or to anyone else.

Have a nice day![/quote]

I say, why not make Oyster-Adams a massive escape room?

We need more of those. And there are too many schools already...[/quote]
