[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has fizzled out... The Chancellor-select was a no show, the Mayor was a no-show and the crowd was extremely small.  Considering many of the schools have open-house scheduled this becomes a redundant production.  The many teachers/principals I spoke with said that considering the people that they did see, they could have done better having those people set-up appointments.  I strongly suggest that DCPS move it to the first weekend in December or the first weekend in November.  Also, if we encourage parents to come to after-school events then why not try holding it during the evening.  [/quote]

Your quibble is that they had it the second weekend in December instead of the first? The event is scheduled to be right before the lottery opens. Which is now. I don't think that having it in November is a good idea. Why prolong the anxiety any longer than you need to? As for having it in the evening, I think that would be a logistical nightmare, not to mention that it would be difficult for a lot of parents to get there. A weekend morning means less traffic and fewer time constraints and obligations. If it was on a Tuesday evening at 5:30, I wouldn't be able to go as I'd need to pick up my child first (gotta be there by 6) and then we'd have to actually get over to the Armory, which takes about 30 minutes from home in minimal traffic and would probably take at least 45 minutes if not an hour in rush hour traffic.
