[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wilson parent here. Wilson is OK but no great shakes. Roosevelt would REALLY have to improve the curriculum and hire some very impressive new staff to make it an option that I or anyone I know would ever consider.[/quote]

what about if some highly regarded wilson teachers and administrators were enticed to move over to Roosevelt.[/quote]

So, let's hurt Wilson by dragging away successful educators? Doubt Wilson parents would like that much. Or the teachers being forced to move.[/quote]

It is a fact that Wilson faces an overcrowding problem. If the only solution you propose is to toss out everyone that doesn't live in Ward 3 -- leaving them with no viable high school option -- the solution you will end up with is a lottery.  Which do you prefer, a lottery or losing a few teachers?

You're going to have a lottery to get into one high school in the entire city?  Ridiculous.  You do understand that a city-wide lottery would destroy Wilson as an academically proficient school, right?  Somebody please tell me what the purpose of a city-wide lottery would be, it makes no sense whatsoever.[/quote]
Right now people perceive that there is a small number of quality HS and MS seats. DCPS can either increase the number of quality seats or get caught in a political battle over how to distribute those few seats. This thread is about  increasing the # of seats.[/quote]
