[quote=Anonymous]The truth is J-R is going to have hundreds of OOB students no matter what. The problem is that the city is having kids learn in utility closets because they don't want to cut down the 700+ OOB students at J-R to a more reasonable number like 450 OOB students. And then they kick out people who bought homes zones for J-R so that they can preserve the high number of OOB students. And then Bowser keeps trying to cut the funding. I always laugh when people in this forum act like Ward 3 has this huge amount of political power.

Anyway, I don't think most people have a problem with OOB students in general, just the city's priorities. J-R (then Wilson) used to be about 2/3's OOB if I recall correctly, but back then Tenleytown was a pleasant place. I don't really know if it's the pandemic, or the city deciding to let people commit whatever crime they want, or something in the education system, but the students now just don't seem to care about any social rules. I saw one just openly shoplifting right in front of a police officer (the officer called him out).

Part of it might be society, too. A couple of decades back, the metro station manager, the CVS manager, the bus drivers, the whole food security guard, the Wilson SRO - all of them were tough and didn't hesitate to put students in their place if they stepped out of line. Nowadays, no one seems to care.[/quote]
