[quote=Anonymous]I think there is a disconnect above between the use of "IB" to mean "in-boundary" and the use in the phrase "IB certification" that refers to an International Baccalaureate program certification for the schools.

I am a NW parent of a middle schooler and a high schooler that has observed the Capital Hill parents' struggle with schools via DCUM (and the 2013 boundary review) with empathy for the past 10 years  DCPS is not interested in doing what it takes to address the needs of the high performing high SES students on Capital Hill.  DCPS cannot see the forest for the trees, they are afraid of the political cost of doing what it takes to create a viable feeder path as they will be seen as pandering to high SES families.  Nevermind that it woudl create a better educational path for many kids, including lower SES kids.

That causes angst.

I love our home in upper NW.  That said, if we did not have children we would not be living here, we would be on Capital Hill or Dupont Circle or somewhere else more urban.

Many of us parents in both locales are both good people and difficult to deal with when our kids' educations are at risk.  [/quote]
