[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was in Whole Foods in Tenleytown yesterday at 9 am.  Wilson needs to send a truancy patrol over to the store.  About two dozen high schools kids wandering aimlessly.  [/quote]

How do you know which of the several high schools in the are the kids attend? Also, how do you know they were truant as opposed to on a flex schedule with off campus privileges?[/quote]

Fair point.

What if they were GDS students helping some homeless people near the WF?[/quote]

Wilson seniors do not take a full load, as many/most have completed most of their high school requirements by the end of junior year.  My kid only needs to take two classes next year to graduate (a full schedule is 8), but he'll take 5 because there are AP math and science classes he wants to take.  He'll be done with school by noon some days or start late.  This is exactly what I did as a high school senior, and I assume what most people who come into high school with advanced language and math credits do.

My kid and his friends frequently go to Whole Foods to (gasp) shop for food.  I've never heard of anyone "wandering aimlessly."

The Metro can be a zoo after Wilson lets out.  And some local fast food places can get a bit iffy.  McDonald's figured out a while ago to play classical music, which discourages the Wilson kids from hanging out there too long.[/quote]

The McDonalds at Van Ness that’s six blocks from Wilson?  Um... nope.  I’m often at the Chik Fil A in Tenley and it’s frequently crowded and sometimes loud at dismissal.  I usually know many of the kids there, so unlike you I’m not frightened of the children.   [/quote]

As you know them, do you politely ask them to exercise responsibility and self monitor?   The McDonalds can get loud too though not as much. It can be a  homeless encampment at times.[/quote]

+1.

From now on PP above will help make sure everyone is polite and respectful.[/quote]
