[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sell your row house and decamp for the burbs, PP. We'll stay to work in partnership with DCPS to create advanced academic programs on a par with those in the burbs. Nobody here (at least outside the Cluster) gains when those pushing for improvements despair of realizing gains and go. Poor kids least of all.

DCPS has never been interested in working in partnership with high-SES Hill parents outside of the mess that is the Cluster.  It may make promises like the Ward 6 Middle School Plan and then move on to shiny new objects.  Last year was supposed to be the year that DCPS focused on middle schools or some such nonsense.  What do we have to show for it?  One overcrowded middle school in NW with a cohort of high-performing students (Deal), one middle school in NW that's improving and is doing a better job attracting inbounds families after a lot of drama (Hardy), one middle school on the Hill filled with kids from Wards 7 and 8 (Stuart-Hobson), a new middle school (Brookland), a middle school which will reopen in August (MacFarland), and a bunch of tired, underperforming schools in need of modernization.  And what has penned to Shaw MS which was part of the Boundary Process?  [/quote]
