The tone-deafness here is a force of nature.

DCPS is not interested in any solution which involves you digging a moat around higher-performing DCPSs, and excluding the OOB students who use the schools in upper NW as an escape valve.

How much clearer does it need to be made to you?[/quote]

So we've got one faction saying "no more schools in upper NW" and another faction saying "no digging moats."  It's got to be one or the other folks.

Personally I think the "no more schools in upper NW" camp has it wrong. Clearly there are significant numbers of people who live outside of UNW who want to go to school there. Give the people what they want![/quote]

The way I interpret these contradictory statements is let OOB kids keep going to work school (no moats) and if they are overcrowded make wotp kids attend currently empty schools (no more wotp schools).[/quote]

Yes, the Robin Hood approach is alive and well at DME.  The view is that some families west of the Park will just have to suck it up and deal with inferior "choices" in the future.  [/quote]
