[quote=Anonymous][quote]Charter schools rescued this city. Now it's just a bonus that some of us can live in cool neighborhoods, have better school options than Ward 3, [/quote]

No.  Abe Pollin and Tony Williams kicked off the rescue of the city, and the rest was momentum from the glorious economic boom years in the late 90s / early 2000s.  I'm sure that was before you arrived, though, right?  Further, gay men and single 26 yr olds -- who have always been overrepresented as newcomers to the District -- are what is really fueling the boom now.   Check with the US Census and the DC Office of Planning for exact stats.     Some of those 26 year olds stay when they have 3 year olds -- and that's why we're having this 15=page thread -- but they'll be gone come middle school time.

And no, there are really not better school options on the whole than a handful of schools in Ward 3.  Maybe YY if Mandarin is your thing.   You will say Mundo Verde is "cool" and Mann is "boring" because it's in Ward 3 and has white people.  That doesn't make it a stronger school though.  [/quote]
