As others have written, the problem is not Meyer [i]per se[/i]. It's that the decision-making process and the total lack of information that has followed that decision - all amidst a DCPS that is in major upheaval - has deprived all but a hardy few in the school community of any confidence that DCPS in its current form will effectively manage the logistics of what will be a very complex swing operation. It may well not be that bad, but it could be truly awful and an extrapolation of past performance suggests a higher probability of the latter. And that will damage a great school for many years beyond the swing and all for what, a gym instead of a playground? No one in the school community "can't cope". We just can't see that the potential short- and long-term costs for the school of this swing as it is currently conceived will outweigh the benefits it offers. And we're exercising our civic right to aggregate and articulate those views.

I have yet to meet a H-A parent who supports the swing to Meyer. All who have communicated any opinion at all are disgusted by what's going on. While I indeed don't claim to speak for anyone but myself, all that I know indicates that these sentiments are representative of the community.[/quote]
