[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know the funny thing about Eastern, the discussion about it being prepared for whites to attend is such old news.  Here we are in the 15th year of the millenium and the percentage of whites in DCPS has not risen above 10 percent.  Again, more whites moving into the city but they are not staying...again strollers in condominiums are not growing as in numbers as the strollers in the projects.  Where's the statisticians...for Eastern to see just an entrance of 20 white students to cross the door seal, it would mean there would have to be about 500+ at the middle school level.  It will never-happen my Peter Pan believers...you can't believe the hype of the real estate agents.

I still remember the Eastrn principal panel interview from year's ago...when a potential white principal candidate asked "where do the white students attend high-school?  The response was to her "you need to ask the Asian-American Chancellor?  Here we are 5 years later and the question/concernes are being poised by whites and I wonder if the African-American Chancellor has the answer?  I wold honestly love to hear the answer, wait the Captiol Hill community no longer have chats and chews with the chancellor.  I wonder why???[/quote]

Isn't PN Hoffman (or somesuch) opening a building in Ward 7?  In a decade nobody who isn't rich or doesn't already own property will be able to afford to live in DC, at least in the portion that isn't across the Anacostia.  Meanwhile, Eastern will always draw from Wards 7 & 8, so it will be poorer for longer than the heart of the city.  Roosevelt seems to be Kaya's newest misguided attempt at an expensive Great White Hope.[/quote]
