DP but now you want to carve out the Wilson IB kids that go private, and also carve out the at-risk Eastern kids that aren't IB?  You have to realize every time you make a stretch like this you're proving PP's point, right?  The enrolled populations are not similar.[/quote]

Nobody said they enrolled populations are similar.  The IB populations are similar!  That’s the whole point!  DCPS, and by extension Mr. Brown, didn’t/don’t care that so many people on the Hill find their IB HS so subpar as to not attend it.[/quote]

Except the long PPP proved that the IB populations are not similar.  With real numbers.  Repeatedly asserting a false thing doesn't make it true, and deciding that the principal at Eastern (1) doesn't care about improving the school, and (2) is personally the reason recent transplants to an area won't attend the local high school is a bad faith argument.  The IB-questioning PP wanted him to disparage his current enrolled students simply so that she didn't have to run a google search.  The fact he wouldn't do that doesn't mean he doesn't care about IB scores, it means he's not going to throw his actual students under the bus so a random person can turn her nose up at them.  It probably also means he's seen this discussion play out before and isn't willing to dance to her tune.  [/quote]

Except long PPP didn’t prove it.  She had an area too large on one side and too small on the other, with affects in both cases that go against PPP’s point.

But, while possibly illustrative, the issue is not arise from one anecdote, but from the hundreds of families that have lotteries out or gone private rather than attending Eastern IB, while Hill families have been clamoring for a reliable HS option for years.[/quote]
