[quote=Anonymous][Quote]So, we're back to your discussion point that the school will be a failure if it has a citywide draw, and only the most excellent proximity families can sustain the culture and educational approach. It's so fortunate that this truth aligns neatly with your needs.

I sincerely hope that if you do not get into SWS that you consider your neighborhood school of Ludlow Taylor. Your hard-working neighbors who are trying against odds to make L-T an option for everyone in the catchment could certainly use your persistence and energy.[/quote]

I'm the PP who accused some of being delusional/bitter.  To be clear, I don't know what's best for SWS as a school -- current SWS parents could better speak to that.  I do think that the point made earlier about it being a specialty program and how that would make for an odd in-bounds school makes sense.  I also don't think that a citywide draw will doom the school in any way.  What I do think is that a citywide draw is just bad policy -- aside from the very valid point that it limits a school's sense of community, a citywide draw just doesn't help the students who are most in need of improved educational outcomes.  Can it help a very few?  Sure.  Is it a realistically and objectively good policy for improving DCPS?  No. [/quote]
