What I find surprising is that Bowser says NOTHING about the schools in these areas. They are already overcrowded. We need more schools WOTP - elementary, middle, and HS.

Sign not this again.

We don't need more schools WOTP.

We need the DC Council to take up re-drawing the boundaries and to move people en masse to the grossly under enrolled schools EOTP.

It is nuts that upper middle class families in Crestwood and Mt Pleasant are sending their kids to Deal and Wilson.  It is nuts that gentrifiers in Columbia and 16th Street Heights and Shaw are doing the same or are going to charters.

Force all those families into their neighborhood schools and you solve the school capacity problems WOTP and the under enrollment problems EOTP and for no cost since most of the schools EOTP have already been renovated at great cost.  And you probably reduce congestion and air pollution in the process.

And all those woke folks forcing out long term residents would have to put their kids where their proclaimed values are by actually sending their kids to their neighborhood schools rather than picking and choosing how invested they actually are in where they live. [/quote]

You obviously don't have kids. I guess it's easy to lecture other people about what they should be doing when you yourself do not have any skin in the game. [/quote]

Thank you for pointing this out. What a numbnutts, to think I'd passively allow DC to ban charter schools (which serve one of my kids well) and force my other child from Deal to whatever horribly underperforming (but renovated!) middle school is closest to us, rather than get the hell out of Dodge.

"you solve the school capacity problems WOTP and the under enrollment problems EOTP and for no cost "

Except, you know, the cost of our children's futures, in the name of radical egalitarianism.
