[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oyster already feeds to Oyster Adams Middle school in Dupont Circle Kalorama area. So you would want to shift their feeder for high school to Rosevelt, which makes excellent sense to me.

Parents may flip out. [/quote]

It would be quite interesting if Wilson/ DCPS targeted Hispanics and bilinguals to kick them out.[/quote]

or, you know, decided to be consistent and feed every bilingual program to the same middle and high school.

If Bancroft and Oyster don't like going to MacFarland, another solution would be to make Bancroft and Oyster city-wide bilingual magnets where nobody has IB preference. Then expand the Francis-Stevens boundary to include the current Oyster zone (there would be enough room, especially if F-S stops offering middle school and all the kids who go there were routed to Cardozo MS and HS) and expand the Raymond/Tubman/Cooke boundaries to include the current Bancroft zone.[/quote]

3.  OR you can leave O-A as it is so that DCPS doesn’t mess up one of the best public bilingual schools in the DC Metro area.  O-A is and has been regarded as a national model for bilingual education for almost 45 years.  Stop trying to fix a school that isn’t broken.  DCPS needs to figure out how it can improve the city’s other bilingual schools without involving O-A.  [/quote]

The problem is that DCPS schools are only as food as the number of UMC families they attract. OA will always be better Mcfarannbecasue all the feeders into McFalrand losenmost ofntheie IMC families by 2nd grade. We are one of those families. Literally sharing the wealth of those families will help McFarland.[/quote]
