Again. You want a solution not available anywhere in DCPS or DCPCS just for Watkins.  Don't you think many families throughout the system would embrace that if it were feasible?  You're talking about something exclusive to Watkins which in and of itself is a nonstarter from a system level (extra teachers for Watkins?  More supports?).  You also assume the poor kids in MOCO are well served by being segregated.  Of course there are less of them and results vary by location).

Your argument puzzles me. - you're a no go on Arlington (and presumably moco) but you want that exact solution.  That can be solved with a moving van. DC is a very different school district with different populations, far more generational poverty,  and different demographics in general.  I'm not sold a moco model would even work in D.C. even if it would work in moco.  Maybe if fewer families irrationally fled the system without giving it a real shot, or would stand up to peer pressure to embrace charters.[/quote]

Peer pressure. LOL[/quote]

LOL for me too -- at how many parents reflectively end up in charter they hate that don't fit their values whatsoever.  But to each their own[/quote]

Seems like many people here assume and project that onto other parents, talk about the herd mentality, etc. with few concrete cases of it. [/quote]

right -- everyone loves their perfect charter and will stay through 12th grade.  Got it.  Keep drinking the kool aid [/quote]
