[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mass of kids in Whole Foods parking today smoking pot. Our parked car reeked when we retrieved it. Spoke to manager. They need to shut that down. Are they going to class stoned out of their gourds?[/quote]

These out of boundary students at ex-Wilson create a real problem in the Tenkeytown community.  Can’t they be sent back to their assigned school if they continue to shoplift, use or sell drugs, and commit mayhem?[/quote]

Exactly - this is where most of the violence stems from

I'll say it for those that don't have the stomach too....sometimes, too much "inclusivity" is a bad thing. Cultures don't mesh. It happens throughout history. Wars were fought over this.

We tried, let's get back to the mid 2000s when DC was peak.

A rich kid from Wesley Heights would get his a** beat if he attended a school in Anacostia. Oil & Water don't mix.[/quote]

Just because a kid from Wesley Heights wouldn't be welcome in Anacostia (a proposition I'll grant you for the sake of argument) doesn't mean kids from Anacostia shouldn't be welcome in Tenleytown, though.[/quote]

Kids from other DC neighborhoods who obey the law, follow the rules, and put in the work are welcome at Tenleytown schools. Otherwise, not.[/quote]

Are you somehow under the impression that the only kids at Deal or J-R who don’t follow the rules, obey the law or (especially) “put in the work” are the out-of-bounds ones? I live in the neighborhood and send my kids to these schools and I am certain that’s not the case. [/quote]

Have you walked around Tenley during a school day? Stop burying your head in the sand just to give you a sense of moral superiority.

32% of J-R is "at risk" according to DCPS...now all of them aren't the problem, but it's fairly easy to deduce where issues arise.

Funny how Cathedral Commons isn't robbed on a weekly basis..NCS and STA are right there!

[/quote]

Yes, of course I've done this, like I said, I live in the neighborhood. And it may well be true that the "at-risk" students at J-R are likelier to be causing or involved in trouble than the rest of the school. But I think this notion that ONLY the out-of-bounds kids do anything wrong and that ALL of the in-bounds kids are model students is ridiculous, and it makes it hard to take your underlying point seriously.[/quote]
