[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what, SWS is an excellent option.  My kids are too old, but when my oldest was little I tried to get her in and I would have schlepped her across the city had we somehow won a lottery spot.  And I am and was in-boundary for a JKLM with which I am very happy.  But what a fabulous early years program.  I thought at the time it was a shame such a unique offerrng was a neighborhood school when it was really only the preschool years.

In concept (even thought I recognize it is a different time in a child's life), it comparable to some of the magnet type high schools and my opinion (no dog in this fight) is that it is great to open this up city wide.

So no, not signing your petition to keep this gem exclusive.  [b]All the parents that are trying to get their kids in will support the school and it has tremendous potential to be a city-wide success, something we need more of in DC.  My experience with OOB parents that schlep their kids across the city for superior educational opportunities is that they care A LOT and will contribute to the schoo[/b]l.[/quote]

EXACTLY. So sick of this coded language on so many threads about OOB kids, and assumptions that "city wide" or OOB means inferior or uninvolved.
