[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought we could magnet in... My plan may need work. I don't think it is all magnet, anyway. As to why--have some concerns about very specific kids on that deal bus. They're not axe murderers or anything, so don't worry. Just would rather not make the middle school years even more Lord of the flies than they already are.

Umm... I ride by the kids on 16th Street waiting for the Deal bus everyday.  I even know a few of them.  "Lord of the Flies?"  Seriously?  They're regular middle school kids. Also, if your kid isn't already at Deal why are you worried about "specific" kids who may or may not be there by the time your kid reaches middle school.  Even if your kid does end up in school with these "specific" kids, my kid goes to Deal and not only do most upper grade kids not see the lower grade kids by virtue of the school set up, but when they do, they completely ignore them.  Moreover, are you really thinking about shifting your entire life by moving to Maryland over some "specific" middle school kids who ride a bus? I can't follow your thought process.[/quote]

I agree. Also from Shepherd Park you could easily get them to Silver Spring metro station and have them take the red line all the way around.

And spend some time at TPMS before you uproot yourself - the kids there are nearly as stratefied as you will find in the city.[/quote]

+1.  No guarantee that you won't run into similar social dynamics at TPMS.  [/quote]
