[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]38% school is out of boundary. Just eliminate that and I guarantee you’ll see crime decrease in tenley.

Sorry but it needs to be said.

If that won’t happen, there should be cops all over Tenley for a year the nip it in the butt. [/quote]

Better yet, if an out of boundary student commits a major infraction then s/he should be removed from the OOB school and sent back to the on-boundary school.  And to proceed from one feeder division to the next, the student should maintain at least a C average.  The privilege of attending an OOB school shouldn’t be wasted on troublemakers and lazy slackers.[/quote]

This is a very good idea[/quote]

How about if they are sent to an alternative school for kids who routinely commit major infractions? when did we stop doing that?[/quote]

It just came out that the police union completely lied about his incident. There were about 50 kids, and only a few involved in a fight. It was not a crazy out of control situation. It was kids fist fighting. I'm not suggesting that that's ok, but I am suggesting that all of this talk about "out of bounds" and out of control kids was a fabrication. Unfortunately, they are not admitting that it was overblown. I heard the updated story on the City Cast podcast, which is great if you don't listen. [/quote]

I'm going to to reup this post because the comments on here are ridiculous. I don't have a dog in this hunt. My kid graduated from "Wilson" and we were in bound.  However, if we know the police union lied about the extent of the fight, would you still be this hostile to OOB? [/quote]

Not hostile to OOB.  But very hostile to the troublemakers where ever they live.  And hostile to OOD - out of District - those fraudsters who live in Maryland but send their kids to DC schools, including "Wilson."  When Ward 3 neighborhoods that fed to Deal and Wilson are no longer welcome in those schools, it's frustrating beyond belief that kids who don't even live in DC are taking valuable spaces on the taxpayer's dime.[/quote]

These days, it's very hard to live in MD and send your kid to a DC school. More often than not, the parents are divorced and one parent has left the District.[/quote]
