[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard a cheap shot.  No DC Catholic school would satisfy you, you demanding b****. Maybe an explanation would help.

The story of Stuart-Hobson is the story of political concerns trumping academic prerogatives for the last 4 decades.  It's not a bad school, but it hasn't served the neighborhood well since the 70s, which isn't good news for any of us in-boundary. [b]No way should more students from Ward 5, 7 and 8 than from Ward 6 still be in that building.[/b][/quote]

YES THEY SHOULD.  Watkins is IMPROVING to 30% IB this year.  Even much hyped Brent is only 65% IB.  If the IB families don't opt in why should the Ward 5, 7 and 8 families get called out for exercising school choice?  They're exercising the same OOB rights exercised by the Ward 6 families choosing charters over IB.[/quote]

This person is obviously not saying OOB kids shouldn’t get to fill empty seats. She’s saying there is no excuse for empty seats and this point. The Watkins boundary is exploding with school aged children. The fact that they’re not enrolling means Watkins/DCPS is doing something wrong. [/quote]
