[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before calling people in the neighborhood deplorable, you should visit Janney and explain to Janney parents how it is not over-crowded. And perhaps you can compare density levels at Janney to GDS as well as the suburban neighborhood schools from which many GDS students travel to DC. There are practical issues here.[/quote] Maybe the boundaries need to be redrawn to alleviate the current overcrowding, but wait, you already fought that to maintain the status quo.[/quote] If the residents of Tenley and AU Park are so concerned about overcrowded Janney, why don't they consider going private? Or enroll their kids in a less crowded school in an up and coming area of DC? It might not be as homogenous as Janneytown, but I'll bet those schools could benefit from more involved parents and smart kids who will boost test scores. One City means broadening the tax base, DC needs to grow, and progress often involves change.[/quote]
