[quote=Anonymous]Oh come on, folks.  At this point, there aren't enough houses in the HJKLMMOSEMu districts for all of us to move to, and charters are either impossible to get into (let us not forget that Stokes, which 3 years ago was undesirable is now having trouble accommodating siblings) or are brand new without even teachers hired yet.  Even Appletree, a formerly "safe" fallback, is now struggling to meet demand.

JLMMMO are overcrowded, and by all accounts, are getting more crowded every year as parents take 8:43's bait and move into the neighborhoods.  Sorry, but I'd rather have my K child at a so-so school within walking distance with 25 kids in her class than a school across town with no metro access and no restaurants within walking distance with 32-36 kids per class where principals struggle to meet burgeoning enrollment with mixed grade classes.

As I've said before, we can't all live in upper Northwest.  And, not all of us want to live in outer NOVA.

I'll send my kid to an EOP "second tier" school and make that into the walking distance, easy playdates heaven described by so many Janney parents.[/quote]
