[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp^^ sorry but you are very much out of touch with the rest of your city.  [b]Deal could ONLY happen because of its wealthy, well-educated inboundary population and then the addition of Dr. Kim and the IB MYP program.[/b]  And yes, we undertand that the neighborhood was not embracing Deal until recently.  but the base of a highly educated inboundary population along with functional feeder schools is THE key to whatwvwr happened at Deal. This can't be ignored when you start offering your opinion on what should happen in the rest of the city.

There is no other school ( Hardy maybe? ) that shares this critical element.  Stuart Hobson has no real boundary population ( it is tiny ) and relies on a feeder system is somewhat uneven.[/quote]

This is not true.  Dr. Kim didn't come after wealthy, well-educated folks embraced Deal, she came before.  Can we stop ignoring the fact that there are some successful schools here that are not all high SES - hello, Banneker anyone (60% free and reduced lunch).  It's not high SES alone. Obviously it's not widespread in DC but I get really sick of folks just pinning the success ALL on high SES.[b] It cannot be replicated so can we find other ideas that are actually doable and make sense for DC?[/quote][/b] given the changing demographics of the neighborhoods I don't see why the Deal model is not replicable for Hardy, FS@SWW and ... I know it would be a Massive turn around ... but Cardozo, given how the gentrified a of Logan, Colombia Heights, Bloomingdale and le droit park are spawning.[/quote]
