[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hilarious.  Try setting up a meeting with Cjarles Allen and gauge his reaction.  DCPS and CHPSPO aren't going to give you the time of day.  There is but one solution that would see to work for most of Capitol Hill:  Watkins becomes s middle school and Stuart-Hine becomes a true neighbohood elementary school for upper grades.  Brent, LT, SWS, SHES (Stuart Hobson Elementary School, Maury and Tyler could then feed to the new Watkins MS, leaving Latin, Basis and WGPCS as alternatives as the IB population continues to surge.  Shaw Middle School should be relaunched or offloaded to Basis or another charter operator.  And there is no good rationale to continue to operate Jefferson as a half empty school at which 60 percent of the kids are not IB.  The same could be said for Eliot-Hine.

Of course, this will never happen, among other reasons, because the Mayor and DC Council is not capable of asking hard questions or holding DCPS accountable and the visionaries downtown are too enamored with the fallacy that Brent and Van Ness will breathe life into a half-empty Jefferson, while Maury alone will be able to jump start Eliot-Hine.

Your Brent-centric approach is noted. How about JO and the bulging population north of H? Are you suggesting they go to school in Ward 5?
