No, it is not OK to me for Capitol Quarter folks to be in-boundry for Wilson.   YEs, it is just another example of the craziness of DCPS, but it is something that can actually be easily "fixed".  School boundries are changed all the time in other places-- why not here?  Why don't DCPS boundries feed the schools in which the students actually live, rather than way outside their neighborhood?

I think word salad lady was implying that Eastern boosters wouldn't want Duddington, etc. to come to Eastern anyway (could be wrong-- it's like reading Faulkner!) as she is happy with the feeders as they are and fears Duddington types would just try to take over and change the school.

But I think DCPS is really missing out on an opportunity to do something that the charters cannot do-- focus on serving the immediate neighborhood and serve it well, rather than trying to serve students from all over the city-- which is something the charters are actually REQUIRED to do.  I don't see how DCPS can beat charters at their own game, so if DCPS wants to actually survive and remain relevant, it needs to do what the charters can't.  But if DCPS is just going to go along with crazy gerrymandered boundries that have no basis whatsoever in the concept of "neighborhood", then they should just throw in the towel and let the charters take over.
