[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old Hardy advocates - please do yourselves a favor and not have your arguments led by parents who’ve sent their kids to privates after elementary school. You talk about your bucolic parks and traffic issues - and you expect sympathy from the rest of the city? You all just seem like entitled privilege poster people.  As a third gen DCer - kids from these neighborhoods were barely in DCPS even in 1996…. 
And thinking about positioning the only school that serves the needs of many special needs in the area is a political winner? No they aren’t educating lots of DC kids for free or lower cost - but that’s also from DCPS contesting and denying sending kids who need the types of special Ed that Lab can provide unless you spend tons of time and money suing the city. They used to have more DCPS kids until the policy change to uniform deny placement about 10 years ago.  I have kids in both Lab (it’s the ONLY school closer than Baltimore that can provide the services my kid needs) and Wilson. [/quote]

One of the big lies is that Lab could only operate in that location. They serve the entire metropolitan region. On the other hand, a neighborhood school has to be in the neighborhood it serves. [/quote]
