[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to wonder which central office staffer thought to themselves "Whitman just doesn't have enough academically advanced kids with lots of resources, we need to bring more into Whitman from East county schools!"[/quote]

They probably think some families who can’t afford Whitman but want a top rated top resourced school would like a chance to apply in. It’s bizarre to me that people wouldn’t want at least the option for access to a school that is known to be the best. Fine if you don’t want to take advantage of the option and I get the downsides of the commute. But it’s weird that you would think just because you wouldn’t want to send your kid there that nobody would. [/quote]

Would you send your kids to Whitman from the DCC?  The more financially comfortable families can afford the W schools but choose the DCC for a variety of other reasons.  The only advantage is the class offerings but you can get that now at Wheaton or Blair, both much closer.  The commute isn't just the commute to/from school, but kids go early for things, stay late for clubs, activities and sports so I know for us, we can easily be doing 4 trips back and forth to school per child, many days.  That's not realistic with a 20-40 minute commute with traffic each way.

And, Whitman has the academics, but it has its own set of issues.  [/quote]
