[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They did not rebuild Eastern to appease Hill residents because Eastern never dependent on Hill parents in the past.  Consider this when Eastern benefitted from being nationally recognized in all things that were grand it was due to the city-wide school population.  As Michelle Rhee informed the Eastern PTSA during those pivotal and  heated times; she couldn't embrace the stroller-brigade that wantrd to infiltrate Eastern.  Kaya had pretty much kept those same people off of Eastern's radar and the school is doing remarkably well and is on their way to be the second largest comprehensive high school.  That would never happened if the focus was on 10 neighborhood blocks that have about 20 strollers.[/quote]

Eastern was "nationally recognized" in band and choir. Not nothing, but also not enough to build a school on, as history has shown.[/quote]

Why don't you raise your head out of the ground ostritch... and stop depending on your one finger research project with the help of google.  The rich history of Eastern is probably older than you so to say otherwise is understandable.  You'll know more when you read more, stop by the school and learn about the Ramblers.  Stop sprouting off at the mouth on subject that your clearly know not one iota about.  If to use your logic, then why was it necessary to save, relaunch and support a school if the only recognizable attribute was band and choir? I guess in your world those who participate in those activities are not worthy to be scholastic too?

As such is life, the school that you don't care for, just might not care for you too.  Choice of schools benefits everyone.[/quote]

No one here said anything bad about Eastern, other than stating the fact that it is too far away to be a viable solution to the Wilson overcrowding problem.

My good friend is an Eastern grad and sang in the alumni choir on the Lincoln Memorial steps during President Obama's inauguration week. No one is denying anyone's history.  But the same school was in such a state physically and academically that it had to be reconstituted. The jury is out on whether that action worked or not.[/quote]
