[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think so. Especially languagenor Montessori.[/quote]

You want 6th graders with no exposure to Montessori or immersion to start middle school?

No, these schools need to be more in line with Latin or other traditional schools. They need to be pulling from the Wilson feeder elementary schools, drawing them away from Deal and Hardy.[/quote]

No, but the feeder elementary schools are over capacity as well. Start there.[/quote]

The problem is that if you siphon off the elementary schools, DCPS will replace those kids with OOB kids. They WANT the OOB system to stay robust. Keep the elementary schools limited (thus not increasing potential OOB seats anywhere) and you keep the flow upwards limited. Increase elementary seats only means increasing demand up river. The expansion needs to be where the real crisis is -- Deal and Wilson. [/quote]

This is right, although it's only one of two possible solutions.  Yes, yo could expand Deal and Wilson, or you could restrict the as-of-right slots at Deal and Wilson.  [/quote]
