[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:54 my point exactly...if you ever think DC will have a middle-school to test-in you are bonkers.  If you are a true Washingtonian, then you will know that DCPS proposed testing-in middle schools and it was determined the best served community would have been in Ward 7.  That is because Ward 7 has the most elementary school-aged children.  Specialty schools at the high-school level is a choice, [b]a specialty school at the middle-school would be confrontational.[/b]

But why?  Aren't charter schools, none with proximity preference, already causing controversy on various levels, leading to talk of allowing proximity preference, with Gray himself weighing in?  Charters don't even provide transportation for poor kids who are admitted without great controversy erupting.  The parent-funded bus that runs from Capitol Hill to Latin sets parents back, what, nearly $1,000 a school year. Who's making an issue of that one (wish somebody would).  Less controversial seeming issues are being stared down and times they are a changin'.
