[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+100. DCPS and PPs give parents [b]who simply want a neighborhood MS school serving the actual neighborhood [/b]when having one shouldn't be a tall order.  Your bleeding hearts hurt the poor kids most.

What do you expect?  They're going to completely do away with the OOB structure for Ward 6 just for you?  I agree that your desire for a school you find acceptable is legitimate.  What I disagree with is your privileged, spoiled, and yes, insenstive and borderline racist, approach to advocacy.  DCPS is not going to create a school you feel comfortable going to if comfort means all white or all high SES.  DCPS is a poor, urban, minority school district.  But you seem to think that because you're a gentrifier in Ward 6 you deserve a gentrified school.  What *could* happen is something like what happened with Brent and Maury - groups of parents getting together to advocate together and decide to send their kids en masse, and be a little brave about it.
