[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^THIS^^^ This in the end is why you lose. Because they don’t believe you are in any way committed to attend. [/quote]

Because quite frankly, they’re not committed. They will absolutely leave for middle and high school. They’ll sell their houses and move to the suburbs, citing the need for more space and definitely not the schools as their reason. The ones who can’t do that will enter the lottery for mediocre charter middle school options or try for private - anything without a DCPS label on it - and later they’ll explain why it was the right decision for their kid but ho hum DCPS better work on a better middle school pattern!

I know a bunch of people who are actively lobbying DCPS to “save” Shaw middle school. None of them will actually consider sending their kids to DCPS middle school. That would not change if there was a Shaw middle school. [/quote]

Maybe, just maybe, they believe it's the best thing for the kids who do attend.  It would change if DCPS cared at all about middle school and put in the effort to make it not suck.  That's not what's happening.[/quote]
