[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well it’s true that if the neighbors ended up looking like they were too good for a school that already existed in their neighborhood. That leaves you guys open to stuff like this Grosso quote. [/quote]

Every child is too good for Cardozo Middle.  That is why it has the lowest capture rate in the city.  And as long as DCPS, the Mayor, and most of the Council continue to treat it like crap, it's going to stay that way.

Are Banneker families "too good" for their IB high schools?[/quote]

No, come on here.  I'm not sure if this PP is a troll or a serious poster, but either way: leave Banneker alone.  It's a great school.  The kids and parents there get to advocate for what they need, because they've earned it.

And I'm a Shaw parent and Save Shaw advocate.

The problem here is divisive rhetoric, most notably from Bowser.  
The council gave Shaw to Banneker.  Good for Banneker.  Now, let's figure out what to do with Shaw middle schoolers and how to find THEM a great experience too.[/quote]

How exactly did they "earn" it?  Have Cardozo kids done something wrong and failed to "earn" an adequate school?  Is it because their rotating cast of APs sucks?  Or because they are high-ELL?  Sorry but I reject this "earning" concept entirely.  All kids deserve to have their needs met.[/quote]
